Crumbling Coastlines

A lot of stories at the moment related to the Norfolk coast, and its possible future.
This followed a report, and comments by Lord Smith of the Environment Agency
This was featured on the BBC NEWS, and there was also an excellent discussion on the GUARDIAN's WEBSITE.

The PRUNED blog had a very interesting post, which included some of Andrew Stacey's wonderfully sharp images of Happisburgh. Well worth reading - thanks to Noel Jenkins for the tipoff there.

Check out this DEFRA website for suggestions on adapting to climate change. Also check out the STAND UP TO CLIMATE CHANGE website.

Today's Eastern Daily Press had a front page which featured Happisburgh. Head over to site to capture the articles quick.

I'm going along to an information day at the reserve on Sunday the 21st of September...

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
