Details

This project provides a detailed assessment of historical coastal change across England Wales. The project predates the 2025 update of the National Coastal Erosion Risk Map.

The project consisted of three tasks:

Task 1: A Rapid Evidence Assessment which reviewed the evidence available on historic coastal change and consolidated this information.聽

Task 2: Reviewed and summarised the various coastal monitoring techniques and technologies that are available to document historical coastal change, and outlined the most appropriate data collection methodologies that can systematically and routinely assess both historical and contemporaneous coastal change.

Task 3: Developed an adaptable methodology to identify coastal change which has been trialled along short sections of the English and Welsh coastline.

Findings

Task 1 confirms that approximately 28% of the English-Welsh coastline is affected by erosion, with associated habitat loss, infrastructure vulnerability, and uneven community preparedness. However, national data on land use, economic impacts, and property loss remain fragmented.

Task 2 highlights the need for flexible, context-sensitive approaches to monitoring techniques.

Task 3 proposes a national framework for visualising coastal change via a multi-layer shoreline database and standardised metrics, tested through a prototype platform.
