Welcome
Welcome to the page for the Southwest Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme. The Programme provides a consistent regional approach to coastal process monitoring, providing information of the development of strategic shoreline management plans, coastal defence strategies and operational management of coastal protection and flood defence.
The Programme is managed on behalf of the Coastal Groups, in partnership with the maritime Local Authorities and the Environment Agency. The Programme is funded by Defra, with Teignbridge District Council acting as the lead authority. For further information:
