The Coastbusters

An initiative for Coastal Experts to communicate their work to the world and inspire the next generation... through the medium of Lego! Get in touch!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

The #Coastbusters are using the latest #UAV technology to collect data remotely and monitor changes to our coastline, such as erosion and habitat changes #coastalmonitoring #coastalscience #STEM 🛰️✈️🏖️🌊🌍

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

The #Coastbusters are out surveying the ecology of our rocky shores to understand how best to manage the shoreline and boost habitat potential #greeningthegrey #rockpool #survey #STEM #coastalscience @ecostructure_

@salt_n_peter @ecostructure_ 100# certain we can do this! I'm sure we have some quadrats somewhere... hold tight!

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

Decisions decisions..... Lots of work goes into #breakwater design! Become a #coastalengineer find out more! #STEM #STEMabmassador #engineer

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

The #Coastbusters are out on site discussing the importance of our coastal habitats - and ideas for future management!

@ivanhaigh @CIRIAupdates @Wirewall_NOC Oh Ivan! We were listening to you too....! The whole event was brilliant and very very interesting!
(Just working on a Lego Dr Haigh...)

The #Coastbusters are listening to the #ERIIP coastal hazards showcase hosted by @CIRIAupdates - learning more about @Wirewall_NOC and their innovative wave overtopping research! 🌊🌊🌊 #coastalengineer #coastalmonitoring https://t.co/kw45axDJtB

@WomeninCoastal Thanks to @LEGO_Group for making a coastal Lego pack! That will keep us busy for a while! Coastal research is such a fascinating science so we are joining many others in sharing our passion!

Will incoming stormy weather mean 3 named storms in 1 week?
The #Coastbusters are being kept busy with storm wave damage (some are sheltering from the wind) #coastalengineer #stem #StormAli #StormBronagh #StormCallum

@Wirewall_NOC @MCCE_Expo @FloodMini @EnvAgency @NOCnews @Marlanmaritime @EnvAgencyNW @SeftonCoast Sounds like we better arrange a coastal Lego conference soon!! 😂

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

Two laser scans before breakfast!!! The #Coastbusters also assisted with a survey of stockpile of gravel next to @CalshotRNLI slipway to see how much can be recycled back to the beach #coastalmanagement #BeachManagement #STEM

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

The #Coastbusters had an early start assisting @NewForestArch and @channelcoast with a laser scan of #archaeological remains at low tide #britainatlowtide #leica #survey #coastalmanagement

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

@asbpa Thank you for sharing! We are a slow-builder 😂 sharing our interest in Coastal Management!

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

Inspecting #beneficialuse beach material used to top up beach levels. Will fit with the in-situ beach nicely and help protect the coastline 👍
Recycling from a #marine source makes sense to the #Coastbusters ♻♻♻

The #Coastbusters are exploring #FloodandCoast18 conference to learn about innovations in coastal flood risk management 🌊🌊🌊⛰🏠 #coastalmanagement #floodfamily #naturalfloodmanagement #FCERMNextGeneration #LEGO #STEM @EnvAgency

Storm Emma has brought ginormous powerful waves along the coastline 🌊🌊🌊
Coastal Scientists will be interested in surveying how beaches and coastal defences have responded through post-storm surveys #laserscan #coastalmonitoring #coastalengineer #Coastbusters #StormEmma

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

The #Coastbusters are preparing for #BeachRecycling works on the #SouthCoast ... had to order some bigger trucks to shift the tonnes! #BeachManagement #Coastalengineer #STEM #Southcoast #Engineer

Found a stranded marine animal along the coastline? 🐋🐬🦈
Who you gonna call?
Get a detailed location and condition to RSPCA (live) or https://t.co/aCmbto8uBl Cetecian Stranding Investigation Programme (#CSIP) (dead animal) #Coastbusters #Cetacean #Dolphin #Southcoast

The #Coastbusters are out inspecting #groynes for wear and tear and #gribble infestation ready for repairs #coastalmanagement #coastalengineer #coastaldefence #coastpath

[The Coastbusters @CoastalLego]

@CoastguardTeam Same! Two days of being unable to get to the coast! Nightmare!!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤒😷
