About the Southern Coastal Group

The Southern Coastal Group was established in September 2008 and covers the area of coastline between Portland Bill in Dorset and Selsey Bill in West Sussex together with the whole of the coastline of the Isle of Wight.

The SCG is a technical group principally comprising coastal managers, planners and others with a knowledge of shoreline management, who operate in a strategic framework.

We support the delivery of plans, studies and schemes by providing co-ordination, facilitating communication and offering advice and guidance to our member organisations.

There are four key areas to our work:

  • Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs)

  • Coastal Monitoring

  • Investment & Planning (MTP)

  • Sharing good practice

The coastal group is chaired by Professor Andy Bradbury of the New Forest District Council.  Vice-chairmen are Mr Neil Watson of the Environment Agency and Mr Lyall Cairns of Havant Borough Council.  Dr Samantha Cope is chairperson of SCOPAC research.

Group Objectives are identified in the Constitution, and the Business Plan sets out how those objectives will be delivered.

The Action Plan allows progress to be monitored against each objective.

Those documents can be downloaded from the links, right.
