I'm Mr. Baggins and I'm an employee at the BP owned Easington Gas Terminal. This gas terminal is located very close to the spit on the Holderness coast, and it's situated very close to the coastline which suffers from severe erosion.
Easington Gas Terminal & Defences.
Easington Gas Terminal is very important to the local economy as it provides a large source of jobs and also energy from the gas. Because of all this it is considered valuable land and a lot of money has been invested into protecting this gas terminal from erosion.
The main form of protection that has been constructed are rock revetments. These are large granite boulders which create a wall and a line of defence on the shoreline. It absorbs the wave energy because of the large air spaces between the boulders and the broad surface area.
These revetments were extremely expensive however they provide long lasting protection and will also secure the jobs of everyone who works here.
