Happisburgh (i/ˈheɪz.bʌrə/ is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is on the coast, to the east of a north-south road, the B1159 from Bacton on the coast to Stalham. It is a nucleated village. The nearest substantial town is North Walsham 6 miles (10 km) to the west.
Happisburgh became a site of national archaeological importance in 2010 when flint tools over 800,000 years old were unearthed. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK. In May 2013, a series of early human footprints were discovered on the beach at the site, providing direct evidence of early human activity at the site.
The civil parish shrank by over 0.2 km² in the 20th century by the erosion of its beaches and low cliffs. Groynes were constructed along the shore to try to stop the erosion. In the 2001 census, before the separation of Walcott parish to the north-west, the parish (which also includes the settlements of Happisburgh Common and Whimpwell Green) had a population of 1,372 in 607 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish is in the district of North Norfolk.

Norfolk is suffering badly from coastal erosion and the government has stopped protecting it. Diana Wrightson's home and business in the village of Happisburgh is just one of the casualties.

A series of footprints that were left by early humans around 900,000 years ago have been discovered by a team of scientists led by the British Museum, Natural History Museum and Queen Mary University of London. The footprints left in ancient estuary muds were found at Happisburgh in Norfolk and are direct evidence of the earliest known humans in northern Europe.

But rapid coastal erosion is threatening some of the country's most iconic beaches. Environmentalists say Australia's coast is becoming increasingly vulnerable as climate change brings higher tides and flooding. Kylie Grey reports from Sydney.

How can we utilise new technology to better gather and manage information on coastal ecosystems and track change over time? In partnership with Ioniq Innovation, Perth Region NRM presents a short video “Our Perth Coast – Mapping Future Changes”. This will demonstrate how we can quantify changes to dune systems and more effectively monitor changes in vegetation communities.

The Old Harry Rocks are two chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. Old Harry Rocks lie directly east of Studland, about 4 kilometers northeast of Swanage, and about 10 kilometers south of the large towns of Poole and Bournemouth. There are two stories about the naming of the rocks. One legend says that the Devil (traditionally known euphemistically as "Old Harry") had a sleep on the rocks. Another local legend says that the rocks were named after Harry Paye, the infamous Poole pirate, who stored his contraband nearby. Old Harry itself is now threatened by erosion, particularly at the foot of the rock. There is a desire to preserve the rocks and protect them from erosion and many teams have been working...
