dataset: PF_COAST_HAZARD_SALIENT

The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment. This data identifies areas that could be affected in the event of salient loss, which cannot be fully quantified with contemporary desktop engineering techniques. The areas highlighting the risk of salient loss were obtained by using the overall surrounding beach alignment, as this would likely be the natural position to which the shoreline would revert in the eventuality of salient loss. Details of the assumptions made in the derivation of this information can be found in project reports on the Our Coast website: http://www.ourcoast.org.au/cb_pages/resources.php. Users of this information should read these project reports to understand the limitations of the data.
