Future Research
In 2007 the
Isle of Wight Centre for the Coastal
Environment and the
Channel Coast Observatory
were commissioned by SCOPAC to undertake a review of past research
activities. The review included European, national and regional
research as well as SCOPAC's own projects.
The purpose of the review was to provide a
prioritised research programme relevant to the central south coast of
England.
Completion of
these projects is dependent on future funding availability:
