Abstract
Dungeness (Figure 9.69) is one of the largest shingle cuspate foreland structures in the world, and is a worthy subject for more detailed discussion of the relationship between biodiversity and integrated coastal management. A well-studied geomorphological system with extensive and intensive human activity affecting the surface shingle, its future is largely determined by local approaches to planning and shoreline management. Despite the adverse treatment it has received, touched upon in Chapter 8, it also remains one of the most important nature conservation sites in Europe and has been the subject of detailed scientific study (Ferry & Waters 1985, Ferry et al. 1989, Ferry in Press).
