Rockpooling Destination: Hemsby, December 2014

Erosion during a winter storm has caused a 'step' in the beach profile and removed the finer sediments whilst leaving the coarser sediments (pebbles and cobbles).


A 'stepped' profile caused by wave erosion. Habitat classification: LS.Sa (Littoral sand) and LS.LCS (Littoral coarse sediments)

The shore has a relatively shallow profile which is dissected by a step caused by wave erosion.

The sandy shore a month before with a relatively shallow profile compared to that of the 'stepped' profile caused by the erosional processes of the storm. Habitat classification: LS.LSa.St (Strandline) and LS.LSa (Littoral sand).
