The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra)
funded a number of
coastal change pathfinder projects around
the coast of England and Wales to test out their coastal change
policy aimed at helping coastal communities at risk of coastal
erosion. The projects ran from early 2010 to spring 2011.
Waveney District Council, in partnership with Suffolk County
Council and Suffolk Coastal Futures led a £1.5m pathfinder project
that focussed on two coastal frontages at Corton and Easton
Bavents.
The project worked with these two coastal communities and local
partners to establish what options there are for managing the
effects of coastal erosion and it's impacts on community life and
businesses.
Full details of the Waveney pathfinder project can be found
on the specially created
Corton
and Easton Bavents coastal change portal (new
