This video looks at the 'sand budget' and erosion of rock, exploring the balance between the natural and human forces at work on a beach.
Topics include: sources of sand, effect of waves on a beach, dunes, erosion, effect of vehicles, undercutting, storm damage, long and short term recession and refurbishment of a beach. The second section provides visuals for a "do-it-yourself" script by students.
