https://www.scopac.org.uk/sts/

The Scopac sediment transfer study (2012) spans the coastline between Start Point, Devon and Beachy Head, East Sussex and is broken down into 27 sediment units. These can be accessed via a map and provides superb details of sediment cells. In addition to the map, there is a literature review and selection of photos. Wave roses can also be accessed on the maps.
