Pevensey Levels Wetland Evolution & Management Issues

This presentation by Professor Callum Firth (University of Brighton) and Dr. Simon Jennings (LMU) explores the evolution of Pevensey Levels over the last 5000 years, focusing on sediment transport dynamics from ancient to modern times. With a special emphasis on the period between the 12th and 17th centuries, the discussion highlights management issues facing Pevensey Beach, which is experiencing instability and retreat. The existing wetlands, formerly open estuaries, are crucially maintained through coastal management strategies.
