Cocker Bridge to Glasson Dock 11C2.4
Summary management approach
Maintain existing defences and investigate potential opportunities for managed realignment to create more sustainable and economically and environmentally viable defence alignments to manage risk from erosion and flooding.
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)
