Case Study of Hastings Coastal Management

Case Study of Hastings Coastal Management Hastings is a small town located about 60 miles south of London on the south coast of England (see the figure below). In recent years, Hastings' coastline had to face many large problems, including 10 kilometers from the east of Hastings to the small town of Falvette. As the coastline keeps in contact with the British Strait there are many coastal processes along the beach and the cliffs.

This report examines the concept of coastal management. It includes the history of the British coastline, especially the history of the East Anglia coast, the current coastal protection theory and the challenges that will be faced in the future for possible climate change. This report also explains the various responsibilities and roles of organizations receiving government funding in coastal conservation management (such as UNEP). Throughout history, the coastline of the UK has been attacked by the navy. This has brought several major changes to the coast in the past 2000 years. However, these changes are not static. Variations in temperature over centuries changed the climate, causing sea level changes, precipitation changes, and the possibility of storm surges.

Measures against coastal influences are part of adaptation. As the impact of the coastal area is expected to be very large, much research has been done from the early stage, focusing on coastal adaptation. The IPCC considers coastal influence and response by establishing the Coastal Management Team (CZMS) at the initial evaluation 58) IPCC CZMS proposes three protection, regulation and withdrawal strategies. Protection means a strategy for protecting inland areas with coastal structures such as revetment and breakwaters. Accommodation is the concept of building a house on a pillar in preparation for the possibility of a flood, changing the use of rice paddies to a fish pond, and changing usage to continue using coastal areas. The final strategy is to withdraw, regulate land use in vulnerable areas, and move houses and economic activities to safer areas.
