Coastal data can predict where to build sea defences for residents
For seaside dwellers, climate change, coastal erosion and cliff falls may be cause for alarm.
Drones, cameras and lidar sensors are also used to monitor cliff erosion and rock structure to help gather the data.Gwyn Nelson, programme manager for the Wales Coastal Monitoring Centre, said the new approach will allow coastal managers to make "informed decisions about coastal defence". He said the project will help keep people "informed about future risks" to their homes, as "we now have more control of the accuracy and the reliability of our surveys".
"I feel perfectly safe. In fact, it's quite exciting when it's a stormy night. You can't help yourself but take some photos of the water flying up in the air.Following assurances from Bridgend council that sea defences will be maintained, Mr Gosling said the only risk to his home was rising sea levels.
