Coastal Habitat Management Plans - CHaMPs

Of the 14 areas identified for the development of CHaMPs 7 were chosen as pilot projects under a LIFE Nature funded project with English Nature, the Environment Agency and DEFRA.

The Executive Summary for each of these projects has recently been made available on the WEB (see EN 'Living with the Seas' project http://www.english-nature.org.uk/livingwiththesea/default.htm). These provide excellent overviews of the key factors determining the direction of the evolution of the coast and the likely consequences of adopting different shoreline management policies for each CHaMP. Those covering the study sites reviewed for this contract are included as pdf files:

  1. Dungeness;
  2. Orfordness;
  3. North Norfolk.
