Environment Agency - Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point Strategy - Enhancing the Lincolnshire Coast March 2021 – present

Very pleased to be part of the works under the new long-term strategy for the Lincolnshire coastline from Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point. The strategy is adaptable to a changing climate, and which will continue to provide and maintain coastal sea defences with healthy beaches for the enjoyment, wellbeing and prosperity of people visiting, working and living in Lincolnshire.

Providing clear concise communications and engagement alongside public liaison will be vital to the Strategy, as moving to the new approach will be a gradual process over many years whilst information to help with the design process is assembled. During this transition period there is still much to do in engaging the public and stakeholders alike.

Beach management for 2021-2024 will continue to provide great benefit for people, property, land, and the environment by managing the risk of flooding from the sea. This work will include routine maintenance and investigations.
