1 iCOASST – INTEGRATING COASTAL SEDIMENT SYSTEMS

Coastal areas in England and Wales are at greater risk of flooding and erosion than their landward equivalents. To address these hazards, over the last 20 years, a process to develop long-term Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) has been developed (Leafe et al., 1998; Cooper et al., 2002; DEFRA, 2006). The spatial boundary of SMPs is defined by coastal cell and sub-cell boundaries (of order 10 2 km), and in temporal terms they consider the implications of coastal change, including climate change, up to 100 years into the future. Hence, SMPs operate at the mesoscale (10 1 to 10 2 km and 10 1 to 10 2 years): collectively the 22 Second Generation SMPs (e.g., Suffolk Coastal District Council, 2010) cover the entire coastline of England and Wales.
