Coastal Changes

Formby beach is an area which I visit often, on my visit last week the National Trust were giving out information on how the coastline is changing. I have researched the situation and found a report which has predicted the evolution of Formby coastline, called Coastal Defense produced by the Sefton Council. These predictions consider the effects of possible sea level rise in response to climatic changes. The diagram below predicts the changes in the future.

My photography below shows the environments which will be lost if the predictions are correct. The coastal path walks through the sand dunes will be lost, along with a number of habitats.
