Managed Retreat
Boom! Well done!

Awesome, well done! You know your hard engineering techniques.
Not bad!

As Thor says, not bad at all. But, let's be honest, it's not brilliant. Give the quiz another go and don't forget to read up on this area by heading over to our coasts resources using the topics link at the top of the page.
