Sea level rise and the coast

  • Managed realignment: Hesketh Out Marsh West
  • Lincolnshire grazing marshes
  • Pagham to West Wittering Coastal Defence Strategy
  • TE2100
  • Alkborough tidal defence scheme
  • North Norfolk coast

 

  • Managing changes to our coastline: Hasketh Out Marsh West

    As sea levels rise and we experience the effects of climate change, we are starting to look at new ways of managing the coast, moving away from the solid flood defence structures that have previously protected our coast and estuaries.

  • Working with local communities: Alkborough Tidal Defence scheme

    Managing climate change on the coast will require us to work with natural processes to ensure that rising sea levels and storm surges can be accommodated.

  • Long term planning: North Norfolk coast

    Planning for climate change needs to start today if we are going to meet the challenges of the future. This is particularly apparent on the coast where erosion and sea level rise will affect a large number of people and businesses over the long term.
