Thanks Eldy! I've gotta confess, part of me would really love to see a good 70 mph windstorm now just to test what we've got done so far, but another part is in no particular hurry....

Hopefully you will get the help you all need. As you say, you cant fight mother nature but, you can walk along side her. Good luck !

Thanks Az! Public speaking has never been easy for me, let alone to a camera and microphone, but this was for a good cause. I talked for probably 20 minutes and they chose those two little soundbites, each carefully cropped to make me look good.

Here's a nice loop of Google images one of the engineers put together but it only goes through summer of 2016 so it's not much use to us now.

Still cool though.

It's cool, but using near infrared will make it easier to automatically classify water from other things.

Looks pretty dam scary to me ! We have coastal erosion where I live but its nowhere as fast moving as your problem. Where I live is built on chalk & often chunks of chalkland falls onto the beach below. I hope you have success over this.
