Since Pevensey Bay's sea defences are no longer self sustaining they have to be managed to ensure that the required level of protection is provided.

A substantial sum was spent in 2002 in completing improvements works, but it was recognised that this alone would not be sufficient. Thus the Latest News. Section provides information on works that are ...

The rate at which shingle drifts from west to east varies from place to place around the bay. Some areas regularly lose material, some do not change and others periodically gain it.

Pevensey Bay Sea Defences. Natural erosion and a lack of maintenance investment had resulted in the embankment becoming dangerously narrow in some places. By 1997 it was believed that a storm with a return period of 1 in 20 years could breach the defences. If nothing was done, continued erosion would mean that the situation would just get worse.

Why was a more permanent solution like a sea wall not chosen? This article explains the differences between soft and hard engineering solutions, where soft is represented by shingle and hard by concrete and rock. Hard engineering solutions can be provided in several ways, for example by a sea wall or a rock revetment. Very expensive to construct.

Pevensey beach is largely formed of gravel and sand pushed landward from the Channel floor by rising sea levels following the last ice age. Material used to replenish the beach today is also taken from the sea bed and is thus a very close match for the existing beach. The beach performed perfectly well without being mechanically moved,. Having no bulldozer meant far less inconvenience for harbour residents, and. Savings were achieved because less resources were used.
