Recession

Coastal cliff recession has been monitored along four markers on the Southern coast towards Young Sound since 1996. Until 2011 the perpendicular distance between the four markers and the edge of the coastal cliff was measured every year. Thereafter the sampling frequency has been reduced to every fifth year. The survey is always conducted in late August.
