Regulating the Dynamic Edge: Creating a resilient ecotone in the Lune Estuary
It is predicated that by the year 2100, climactic factors will have a significant impact at both a global and local scale.
With predictions of sea level increases reaching 800mm to 1000mm along the Lancashire coastline; should this prediction become reality it would have a significant impact along the ecotone of the Lune Estuary.
As a response to this prediction, a series of long term phased interventions would be implemented offering a reactive and functional defence mechanism against rising sea level changes and aim to reduce rates of erosion.
Through the development of anthropocentric structures, it is envisaged a combination of offshore strategies and terrestrial based sediment accretion systems will support biotic systems, facilitate connection and promote the landscape to dynamically mutate form regaining greater resilience.
