Shoreline Management Plans

Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) are non-statutory documents aimed at producing sustainable policies for the coastal defence of the shorelines around the UK. SMPs are prepared to take into account natural coastal processes and issues relating to the environment and human needs. Coastal defence is the protection of the coastline from erosion and flooding by the sea.
