Coastal erosion
The National Coastal Erosion Risk Map shows projected areas at risk from erosion. The erosion risk zones are created by splitting the coastline into ‘frontages’ – lengths of coast with consistent characteristics based on location, cliff behaviour characteristics and defence characteristics.
This dataset is intended to be an up-to-date and reliable benchmark that shows erosion risk extents for:
- the medium term (up to 2055) and long term (up to 2105)
- 2 management scenarios – with shoreline management plans delivered and no future intervention
- 3 climate scenarios – Present Day, Higher Central and Upper End
The data is owned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and available under the Open Government Licence (OGL).
