  • 5. Main Findings to Date
      • Tweed – channel and banks, beaches and inner estuary
      • Aln / Wansbeck / Meggie’s Burn  – channel and beaches
      • Seasonal variations (e.g. Druridge Bay, Blyth South Beach) – summer and winter profiles
      • Storm effects can be widespread along the coastline
      • Erosion at Druridge Bay, Newbiggin Moor, Sandy Bay, Cambois and Blyth South Beach
      • Legacy of industrial heritage
