Summary

The research project ‘Living with a changing coastline: exploring new forms of governance for sustainable coastal futures‿ examined the existing arrangements for coastal governance in England and puts forward recommendations on how to achieve more effective and sustainable management of these coastlines. Decision-making about the coast is occurring at a dynamic time in a period of accelerated sea level rise, new and changing official policy, and greater expectations of inclusive public involvement. At present, the arrangements for managing changing coastlines are incomplete, and may act adversely towards establishing a fully sustainable coastline. Various suggestions for improving the governance of dynamic coastlines are offered in this working paper.
