Coastal Groups of England
In response to changes
brought about by the 2008 Environment Agency's 'strategic
overview for flood and coastal erosion risk management' [more]
the existing sixteen regional coastal defence groups for England
and Wales were restructured with the aim of providing a
streamlined and focussed delivery of coastal erosion risk
management for the future. Seven strategic
coastal groups were formed.
Coastal Groups comprise all the key partners in coastal
management - principally
the coastal
managers from maritime Local Authorities, Ports Authorities
and the Environment Agency.
Other interested organisations, such as
Natural England and English
Heritage, will also be members.
They are voluntary groups
with significant influence. They do not
receive funding from central government but are resourced
through a range of mechanisms
generally involving membership contributions.

boundaries are not coincident with national boundaries and,
following coastal process principles, the strategic groups need
to consider issues beyond the English borders.
