Coastal Groups
of England
Coastal Groups comprise all the key partners in coastal
management - principally
the coastal
managers from maritime Local Authorities, Ports Authorities
and the Environment Agency.
Other interested organisations, such as
Natural England and English
Heritage, will also be members.
They are voluntary groups
with significant influence. They do not
receive funding from central government but are resourced
through a range of mechanisms
generally involving membership contributions.
 There
are seven strategic coastal groups in England, as prescribed by
Defra in March 2008, each of them formed
with regard to
local coastal
processes and River Basin Management

Coastal group
boundaries are not coincident with national boundaries and,
following coastal process principles, the strategic groups need
to consider
 issues beyond the English borders.
