GIPPSLAND LAKES SHORE EROSION SUSCEPTIBILITY

The Gippsland Lakes Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Gippsland Lakes coastal environment. The lakes shoreline erosion susceptibility classification was based on a weighted analysis of wave and wind currents, geomorphology, shoreline vegetation and the presence of structures. 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.
