Ginamoney Carn to Browarth Point 46.12
Summary management approach
Continue to hold the existing shoreline position as defences prevent saline contamination of drinking water. Where works are to be undertaken along existing defence line at Big Pool within the Isles of Scilly, the surface materials should be similar to the existing materials in order to avoid any loss of intertidal rocky habitats, and should be designed so as to maintain any bird roosting features. Prevents adverse effects to the Isles of Scilly SPA and Ramsar site.
Generic approach assigned to this unit
Management approaches depend on funding and relevant approvals and permissions. Adaptation to coastal change may be needed. If defences are present, some risk from flooding, erosion or ground instability may remain.
Time periods (short (0 to 20 years), medium (20 to 50 years) and long (50 to 100)) are approximate and do not signify precise dates of management transitions.
0 to 20 years (2005 to 2025)
HL1Hold the lineMaintain/replace
Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures or managed beaches, and the intention is to retain a defence along approximately the current alignment. This will involve replacing defences when needed. Defence type, method and standard of protection may be modified over time.

All actions are subject to funding and approval, often by other parties than the Lead Organisation shown.
Reference Number | Action Description | Action Lead Organisation | Action Progress Status | Priority |
---|---|---|---|---|
17.173 | Undertake an initial high level assessment of future coastal risk and associated adaptation and resilience requirements, evidence needs to inform management (such as wave/sediment transport modelling) and priorities for action. Use this to define the scope of a comprehensive, long-term (100+ year) Isles of Scilly Coastal Resilience & Adaptation Strategy. | Council for Isles of Scilly | Progressing | High |
17.174 | Develop a comprehensive long-term (100 years+) strategy for how the Isles of Scilly will adapt and be resilient to the challenges posed by climate change, sea level rise and other coastal related hazards. This is to be set within the context of the wider Isles of Scilly Climate Adaptation Strategy. Development of this strategy is to include:1. A new Wave Study utilising recent modelling, updated to account for the latest guidance, boundary data, sea level rise projections and other information to inform present and future risk assessment for the Isles.2. A new assessment of climate change-dirven coastal risks to the Isles based on latest evidence.3. A new assessment of tsunami-related coastal risks.4. Assessment and action to address all recommendations contained in the 2020 SMP17 SMP-Refresh for SMP units covering the Isles, including any changes to currently agreed SMP management approaches.5. A review and update of the SMP17 action plan for the Isles of Scilly.6. A quantification of the magnitude of required managed realignments and an appraisal of the options and requirements for works to manage key risks to people, property and infrastructure, including where there is a particular need to inform spatial planning and future investment programmes.7. Development of new environmental assessments to consider all current environmental designations and potenital implications of coastal squeeze.This strategy will consider risk reduction, readiness, response and recovery to address pre-event, during-event and post-event planning and operations. | Council for Isles of Scilly | Not yet started | High |
17.175 | Engage with land use planners and discuss approach to development of Coastal Change Management Areas (CCMAs) around the Isles, including adaptation planning for existing development , consideration of the natural environment and inclusion of risk zones. Specific flood risk management policies should be included in the updated Local Plan for 2015-30. CCMA to be identified in Core Strategy Policy for community adaptation. | Council for Isles of Scilly | Not yet started | High |
17.214.01 | Improve the quality of community awareness and warning by publishing Flood Maps and extending the Environment Agency Flood Warning Service to the Isles of Scilly. | Environment Agency | Not yet started | High |
17.215 | Undertake a Capital Maintenance project to sustain the functionality and life of existing coastal defences in the short term (25 years), whilst the long-term coastal resilience and adaptation strategy is being developed, and medium to long term responses are considered and then delivered | TBC | Not yet started | Medium-high |
17.214 | Undertake Environment Agency Isles of Scilly Coastal Flood Risk Modelling | Environment Agency | Complete |
