The document provides guidance for students on conducting a geographical investigation into crowded coasts. It outlines four key areas of focus for fieldwork and research: (1) competition for coastal land, (2) coping with coastal pressures, (3) increasing coastal risks, and (4) coastal management. Students are encouraged to utilize a variety of techniques to investigate these topics in the field such as land use surveys, questionnaires, and beach quality assessments. Suggestions are also provided for how students can follow up their fieldwork through activities like writing up their methodology, presenting and analyzing their results, and conducting peer reviews.
