IMG_4243_steps.jpg Happisburgh in North Norfolk is one of the most rapidly eroding coastlines in the British Isles. Already several houses have been lost to the sea. Though it has been eroding since Roman times, sea level rise and an increase in stormy weather, both driven by climate change has resulted in an increase in the rate of erosion. These steps are from the last house that fell into the sea, and are now lying on the beach.

IMG_3272_holiday park.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. The rocks have been placed to try and strengthen the sea wall.

IMG_3341_turbine.jpg The Walney Offshore Windfarm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria.  The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. When finished it will have 102 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. The Turbines are manufactured by Siemens in Denmark, then shipped to the port of Mostyn in north Wales, where they are put together before being shipped up the the Walney site.
