Objective
The objective is to develop strategic management policy for an area of open coast, based on the principle of integration, subsidiarity and sustainability. It will establish the process and approach for the management of an area of exceptional environmental quality facing a range of issues and will build on existing experience, knowledge and established mechanisms for involving all coastal interests and users.
The project aims to demonstrate a practical method for developing an agreed strategy for the sustainable management of open coastlines, rather than estuaries. Addressing the diverse issues facing the Dorset coast will help to establish principles of best practice in approaching coastal issues and provide opportunities to share key issues and experience with coastal areas in Europe. The existing Dorset Coast Forum will be used as a vehicle to ensure the involvement of a broad range of local interests and as a mechanism for communication.
The project will include the establishment of a Strategy Steering Group to determine the best methods for drawing up the strategy, identify priority areas in the development of the strategy and analyse issues in the light of consultations.
