Our Shoreline
SMP
Subcell 5F
SMPs divide the shoreline of England & Wales into a series of cells and subcells
(map right, click to enlarge), defined by coastal type and
processes such as the movement of sediment (sand, shingle, etc) within and
between them.
The shoreline from Durlston Head to Hurst Spit is known as Subcell 5F.
Process
& Management Units
Subcell 5F covers a total of
190km, or 118 miles of coastline including harbours and estuaries, and for
SMP1 were contains seven 'Process Units'
identified by 3 letters on the map below (e.g. DUR is Durlston Bay).
Process Units are subdivided into a number of 'Management Units'
(also known as 'Policy Units').
Note:
During the 2009-2010 review the seven SMP1 Process Units
were dropped in favour of four
Policy Development Zones (PDZs)
- future updates to this section
will reflect those changes.
