The Fife Shoreline Management Plan, which we covered in a previous article on this site is now undergoing review by Fife Council.

The Council is now required to review the Shoreline Management Plan, and funding has been made available to undertake this work in 2009 – 2011.

From the FifeDirect website:

“The project will deliver a new Shoreline Management Plan with sustainable polices to guide coastal management over the next 20, 50 and 100 years.  The potential effects of climate change and sea level rise will be considered in addition to other coastal processes.

A multi-disciplinary Steering Group directs the development of the plan.  The group includes representatives from Fife Council, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Fife Coast & Countryside Trust.

An initial online consultation is now underway until 5th February 2010 to gauge opinion and invite contributions from Key Stakeholders. 

An Action Plan will be produced to address issues and objectives identified by the SMP.”
