Abstract
Climate change has been linked to
a higher rate of coastal erosion
and higher sea-levels, increasing the
risk of flooding and resulting in significant habitat loss.
Changing sea temperatures, which affects the type and quality of fish stocks, is another important impact.
A better understanding of these
impacts is essential for coastal management planning, and the LIFE
“RESPONSE” project was set up
by The Isle of Wight Centre for the
Coastal Environment to meet this
challenge. In partnership with nine
organisations from the UK, France,
Italy and Poland, it collected data
on coastal behaviour systems in five
study areas across Europe. As part of
the project, the centre developed an
innovative technique for interpreting
such data in order to predict coastal
changes.
Taking into account historical records, the project was able to map coastal features, monitor changes over time, predict future changes and identify
specific local areas of risk.
This methodology an be used in any coastal
region to allow local authorities and
stakeholders to make informed coastal
planning and shoreline management.
A key advantage of the technique is
that it can be used to identify areas
most at risk to the effects of climate change. Climate change can have a significant impact on sediment transfer,
affecting coastal habitats such
as salt marshes and sand dunes.
Management plans must account for
increased sediment movement and
include corrective measures to protect vulnerable habitats.
