Aerial imagery shows that since 2010 the Inverloch Surf Beach coastline has
receded by 45-70 metres on either side of the Surf Club, and over eight
hectares of coastal vegetation has been swept away — close to half of the
vegetated dunes that existed just nine years ago.

28 Aug 2021: Interview with Professor Emeritus Rodger Tomlinson
Rodger Tomlinson discusses the influence that the position of the
main channel into Andersons Inlet has on Inverloch Surf Beach erosion. He
identifies a range of measures that could assist with managing further erosion,
ranging from nature-based, dune enhancement options through to structural
measures such as offshore reefs and groynes.

Update of Inverloch Beach Monitoring Report, Jul-Dec 2020
This report analyses the results of beach monitoring carried out by SGCS
volunteers between July and December 2020. It includes a detailed analysis of
the accelerating coastline recession that has occurred at Wreck Creek and Flat
Rocks and reiterates the Society’s calls for urgent active dune management to
avoid further significant loss of ecological values over the next 6 months.
