Colonisation survey
The URBANE team is surveying newly built structures to quantify colonization rates. 3 locations are being monitored:
Aberaeron - two new rock rubble groynes (3-6 tonnes) were completed in the upper shore in September 2009
Twywn - a new breakwater and two new rock rubble groynes were completed in May 2010
Borth - an extensive scheme is currently underway involving the construction of inshore breakwaters and groynes in addition to an offshore breakwater which will have a dual purpose as a surf reef. Construction is expected to finish in February 2012
