Coastal change, through erosion or flooding, has always been a risk for those living and working by the sea.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Environment Agency has strategic oversight of Shoreline Management Plans (20 in England), which are the responsibility of Coastal Protection Authorities. These plans set the direction and preferred management option over a 100 year timeframe and are under-pinned by evidence and a high level economic, social, and environmental assessment.<\/p>
<\/p>
Over the next three years, we and the Environment Agency (EA) are working closely with the coastal authorities, including funding of £1 million, to refresh Shoreline Management Plans, to ensure that there is consistency and that they are using the best, most up to date evidence. This programme will ensure the Shoreline Management Plans and Coastal Protection Authorities remain effective in light of the most recent UK climate change predictions which will be published later this month.<\/p>
<\/p>
The EA are also funding a £23 million, five year programme of regional coastal monitoring by these groups, to support decision making.<\/p>"}

Defra is committed to protecting our trees from pests and diseases and building the resilience of our trees, woods and forests. In May we published a new Tree Health Resilience Strategy. The strategy sets out a joint action plan for how government and others can work together to address threats to tree health, including threats to ash and oak nationally.<\/p>

One example of joint action is Action Oak, a hugely important partnership of charities, landowners and government, proactively working together to protect and conserve our oak trees for future generations.<\/p>"}

Coastal erosion is a natural process that always has and will shape our coastline.<\/p>
<\/p>
In England, District Councils (known as Coastal Protection Authorities) lead on the management of coastal erosion risk in their areas. Since 1996, coastal protection authorities have collaborated locally with a range of other interested parties to develop Shoreline Management Plans (SMP) for their coastlines. These high level plans set out a top level policy framework to manage the risk of coastal change, covering three time periods of 20, 50 and 100 years, and recommend approaches to manage the local coastline. The Environment Agency (EA) has strategic oversight for the production and quality of SMPs, and over the next three years it will be funding a refresh of the plans by coastal authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
In England, between 2015 and 2021, the Government plans to invest £885 million in projects to manage coastal erosion and better protect communities against flooding from the sea.<\/p>"}

There are close working relationships between risk management authorities (RMAs) in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. These include the Environment Agency, Lead Local Flood Authorities and Internal Drainage Boards. Together they promote the creation, funding, and delivery of joint projects to manage flood risk. Assurance is provided through the two Regional Flood and Coastal Committees: South West covering Devon and Cornwall, and Wessex covering Somerset. The Regional Flood and Coastal Committees have membership from all relevant authorities and agencies, including County and Unitary Authorities and water companies.<\/p>
<\/p>
The RMAs also work together to deliver strategic planning policies, through influencing local and neighbourhood plans, to manage flood risk through economic growth, planning and development.<\/p>
Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) plan and prepare for flooding in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. The LRFs are made up of category 1 and 2 responders, including the Environment Agency, county councils, NHS, Fire and Rescue Service, police. The LRFs meet bi-annually to ensure plans and procedures are in place to respond to flooding. Plans are tested regularly through multi-agency training and exercising. The LRFs provide support to communities to prepare for flooding. During flood events, the LRFs coordinate the response. After flood events, multi-agency debriefs identify successes and areas of improvements.<\/p>
