The Biosphere Reserve team in Northern Devon Coast and Countryside Service convened a study group consisting of Environment Agency, Natural England, Devon County Council, Torridge District Council and North Devon District Council to specifically explore the scientific and technical issues and how they might be combined with local knowledge to reach a common understanding of the dynamics of the shoreline in the estuary and its approaches. This report is the result of extensive work by Professor Pethick and links to work carried out by Professor Julian Orford concerning the Pebble Ridge at Northam Burrows. It also combines the comments and observations made by local people through a series of public presentations.
