Shingle loss during high tide at Jury's Gap

It is not surprising that DOC is worried about our coastline. As our Technical Officer Tony Hills constantly states: “it only takes one high tide to cause a lot of damage”,  and from these photographs you can see why.

Within 24 hours and with one high tide an enormous amount of shingle was lost at Jury’s Gap, exposing more of the old 1960s sea wall and scouring away the little shingle which is left, Time really  is not on our side and new sea defences need to be built  as soon as possible to protect the Marsh!
