🌊New groynes, no waste
Replacing the groynes on Bournemouth Beach is crucial in order to stop coastal erosion, but the old wood doesn't go to waste. Instead, it's been used to support other local projects, such as the building of an Eco Hub on Durley Chine, as well as initiatives further afield, like a new sea defence project on the Isle of Wight.
Find out more in the BBC South news feature
filmed at Bournemouth beach and broadcast on 28 March.
