Coast protection, flood defence and managed re-alingnment
What is it:
Three data layers show coastal:
- protection schemes built since 2000.
- flood defence schemes since 1961.
- managed re-alignment schemes.
The point data set shows the approximate location of the works rather than their full extent.
