Quality Control

All data have been captured in a manner commensurate with the principles of the Environment Agency's National Standard Contract and Specification for Surveying Services and stored in a file format compatible with the software systems being used for the data analysis, namely SANDS and Arc-GIS. This data collection approach and file format is comparable to that being used on other regional coastal monitoring programmes, such as in the South East and South West of England.

Upon receipt of the data from the survey team, they are quality assured and then uploaded onto this website for storage and availability to others. These data are also input to SANDS and GIS for subsequent analysis by the project team.
