Coastal Management Assessment Survey

Students conducted a beach management and defense quality survey at two different coastal locations: Site X (Managed Retreat / Salt Marsh Zone) and Site Y (Hard Engineering / Sea Wall Zone). They used a bi-polar scoring system ranging from -3 (Extremely Poor/Ineffective) to +3 (Excellent/Highly Effective).

Management Quality CategorySite X (Managed Retreat)Site Y (Sea Wall)
Aesthetic Value+2-2
Ecological Biodiversity+3-3
Wave Energy Dissipation+1+3
Public Accessibility-1+2
Long-term Sustainability+2-1

Note: -3 represents extremely poor/ineffective, and +3 represents excellent/highly effective.

State two findings that the students could suggest about the coastal management quality of Site X and Site Y based on the table.
