 Strategic
Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes
2011
Channel Coast Observatory
Probably the most significant of the coastal research activities
in recent years has
been the establishment of the Strategic Regional Coastal
Monitoring Programmes.
The South-East
Programme started in 2002 and the South-West
programme followed in 2006.
Anglia,
East Riding, the North-east and the North-west have now received
approval from Defra to undertake a similar approach in their
respective regions to ensure a nationally consistent approach to
coastal monitoring.
The programmes are funded by Defra and a specialist team has
been established at the Channel Coastal Observatory within the
National Oceanographic Centre, Southampton, to manage the
programme and develop the data analysis, storage and
dissemination procedures.
Significant advances have been made in data collection and
management as a result of this long-term programme.
