The Thames Estuary continues to be hugely important for shipping, and is the responsibility of the Port of London Authority (PLA). Shipping routes in the outer estuary are restricted to channels between many large and dynamic sandbanks. The PLA has been seeking to improve access to the south by dredging one of these channels, Princes Channel, to make up for sand movements that are blocking previouslyfavoured channels.","PeriodicalId":261832,"journal":{"name":"Heritage at Risk","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129290055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Monitor sank later that year while being towed south along the Atlantic coast of the United States. Monitor’s remains were not discovered until 1973, lying in 230 ft. (71 m) of water off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Two years later, the Monitor was designated America’s first National Marine Sanctuary, and is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to prevent looting and unwanted salvage. In situ preservation was the primary objective of the management plan. Of course, certain artifacts were periodically recovered, conserved and curated at a museum of public access out of concern that they would be lost to strong currents or looters. During the 1990s, however, NOAA determined that the Monitor was fighting a losing battle against both natural and human threats. As a result, NOAA aggressively applied comprehensive planning strategies and ocean technology to the problem of preserving the Monitor, resulting in a multiyear recovery project and a major museum exhibition.","PeriodicalId":261832,"journal":{"name":"Heritage at Risk","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115517064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The city of Grimma was one of the worst affected of the many places flooded in saxony. The Mulde river, a tributary of the elbe, reached the highest water level ever recorded there, putting the historic center under as much as 3.5 m of flood waters. The steep gradient of the Mulde Valley and the town’s location at a bend in the river contributed to the very high velocity of the flood waters, which destroyed or badly damaged almost 700 houses in Grimma alone (fig. 1). The loss of lives, houses, property, places of work and infrastructure abruptly boosted people’s awareness of the high risks of living by a river and of the need to meet that risk with prevention. It also convinced the saxon state Ministry for environment and agriculture to update public flood protection on both a regional and a local scale. Comprehensive flood protection concepts for all the bigger rivers in saxony and their catchment areas were prepared by the dam authority; the concept for the Mulde was approved in 2004 and is the basis for planning in Grimma2 (fig. 2 and 3). Grimma is a small city of c. 18,000, situated on a terrace in the Mulde river valley, not far from leipzig. What distinguishes it from many other towns is its unusually well preserved setting in the river landscape, with a largely intact medieval city wall still bordering the riverbank.
