Abstract

A proposal to build an artificial reef has been put together for Newquay in Cornwall. The aim is to enhance surfing conditions for local surfers, to attract visiting surfers and to provide a spectacle for other tourists, particularly during the autumn, winter and spring months. The message nowadays is that engineers should play a wider role in meeting the needs of society, that they must become key practitioners of sustainable development and that they should gain greater recognition for the role they play. It is considered that this proposal goes some way to delivering these goals. This paper discusses the project in the context of sustainable development.
