A strategy for promoting an integrated approach to the management of coastal areas in England has been published.

The Minister for the Natural and Marine Environment, Wildlife and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies MP said “This strategy highlights progress across Government, especially through the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, to build a joined-up approach to coastal management into our national policy development and delivery.

This work will contribute towards a co-ordinated approach to managing our coasts, helping local coastal managers work with local people to meet local needs in a holistic way. The strategy also gives examples of local good practice – we will promote and support local initiatives as much as we can.”
