Abstract
Coastal defence is a composite term covering both coast protection and sea defence, with these activities now being actively managed by the various authorities involved, to comply with the Government's policy to ‘reduce the risks to people and the developed and natural environment from flooding and coastal erosion by encouraging the provision of technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable defence measures’. This paper shows how the various authorities actively involved in the overall management of the coastline have increasingly worked together to achieve this strategic policy requirement.
期刊介绍：
Municipal Engineer publishes international peer reviewed research, best practice, case study and project papers reports. The journal proudly enjoys an international readership and actively encourages international Panel members and authors. The journal covers the effect of civil engineering on local community such as technical issues, political interface and community participation, the sustainability agenda, cultural context, and the key dimensions of procurement, management and finance. This also includes public services, utilities, and transport. Research needs to be transferable and of interest to a wide international audience. Please ensure that municipal aspects are considered in all submissions. We are happy to consider research papers/reviews/briefing articles.
