To what extent does human activity impact on the sand dune ecosystem at Summer leaze and Widemouth bay in Bude, Cornwall?

This project formed the Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) for Geography A-level. I found this project interesting as it involved the practical mapping of the dune landscapes at 3 locations (Widemouth Bay, Summerleaze and Rock as a control) overlaid by a survey of human activity at these sites. From this I was able to draw conclusions about the impact of human activity on the dune ecosystem.

  • Mapping

  • Surveying

  • Sampling

  • Plant identification.
