CMAC

Project 01 - Risk Based Methodology

The Risk-Based Methodology (RBM) has been designed to improve the consistency of coastal data collection to support FCERM decisions when determining high-risk sites.

Project 14 - Autonomous Vehicle

The WCMC funded by the 4 Coastal Groups (in Wales) and KESS2 and partnered Aberystwyth University have begun a project to develop a low cost autonomous survey rover.

Project 23 - Weather Data Assessment

An assessment of surveying techniques using historic meteorological/tide data was conducted to determine the most reliable method at a given location. The WCMC, GEOM and ERDF joined together to create a universal tool, that would help determine this.

Project 41 - Bathymetric Risk Based Methodology

The Bathymetric RBM has been developed to provide an understanding of system-wide influences on coastal erosion and inshore flood risk to support FCERM decisions.

Project 46 - Wales Coast Path CoastSnap Project

The Wales Coast Path and the Wales Coastal Monitoring Centre have partnered with CoastSnap to establish the CoastSnap Citizen Science Project.

Project 03 - The Education Programme

The education programme has been developed to help provide KS2 students with the skill set they will need to help mitigate the impacts of the changing climate. The programme has been developed alongside Barry Island Primary Schools and takes into consideration MAT and ALN requirements.

Project 19 - Online Data Reporting

The WCMC were able to work with the Office for National Statistics through their data visualisation accelerator programme to produce a prototype data platform for coastal data. This initial prototype was then built on to produce the WCMC data platform available on our data page.

Project 36 - Beach Realtime Level Sensor

The WCMC collaborated with a masters student from Aberystwyth University to produce a low cost beach sensor to measure sand levels against a fixed structure.

Project 44 - Ocean Hackathon

The WCMC entered Plymouth's first Ocean Hackathon with the challenge to create an image rectification and classification tool that can be used to process CoastSnap submissions.

Project 59 - WCP Coastal Change Form

The WCMC worked with the Wales Coast Path team to produce a web form for organisations that work in the coastal environment to report evidence of coastal erosion. This was to aid local authorities and the Wales Coast Path in highlighting areas of active erosion.

Project 09 - Stakeholder Assessment

The WCMC has been working with key stakeholders to ensure the WCMC is delivering what is required from a national monitoring programme. The results have been distilled into new purpose, vision and mission statements which provide a streamline direction for the organisation.

Project 22 - SWEEP-OWWL Extension

The Operational Wave and Water Level model (OWWL) has been developed in SW England, in an effort to better predict coastal floods. The WCMC partnered with SWEEP to extend the OWWL forecasting model to cover South Wales.

Project 38 - Point Cloud Techniques Comparison

The Point Cloud Techniques comparison has been designed to automate the processing of point cloud data to improve efficiency.

Project 45 - Survey Trial Location

The aim of this project was to determine the highest priority survey units which currently are not included in the survey programme. This will be utilised if additional opportunities arise.
