 The Review
SMP1 (1999) was an innovative step towards
sustainable management of our coast and the need for long-term strategic
planning, but over the last 10 years we have made significant progress in
understanding and mapping coastal processes and SMP1 is now under review.
Government has recommended that a second
generation of SMPs (SMP2) should consider coastal risk management over a
100 year timescale.
But one of the difficulties facing us, as a
nation, is the economic, social and environmental cost of continuing to
protect our coast to the extent that we do now. Decisions have to be
made now about what can and cannot be defended ...
planning for the future is vital.
