  • Case Study Areas
    Corepoint Expert Couplets & case studies: Descriptions of physical, ecological and socio-economic context, and of area-specific Corepoint activities Compiled as part of the Corepoint Project February 2008 Editors: Margaret Carlisle, David R. Green University of Aberdeen Executive Summary ___________________________________________________________________ This report comprises descriptions of twelve areas which were the loci of activities jointly undertaken between a Corepoint partner and a local authority. There is a good spatial distribution of these study sites around the North-West Europe region. The study areas are also diverse in terms of other geographical criteria, specifically physical, socio-economic and ecological factors. These factors are the physical nature of shoreline, land and subsea substrate, the physical topography/bathymetry, the nature of hydrological dynamism, erosion vs accretion, peripherality vs. core areas, employment, terrestrial & littoral ecology and finally marine ecology. The first, short, section of the report presents an overview of these factors and an overview of the Corepoint activities undertaken. Some of these activities (e.g. Belgian coast) were full Expert Couplets involving many joint activities between Corepoint and the relevant Local Authority, others (e.g. Fal Estuary) were one-off case studies. The second, considerably longer, section of the report gives a detailed description of each study area. Each study area location is shown on maps and illustrated with images, and its physical, ecological and socio-economic characteristics are described. Finally, the history of coastal management in the study area, its coastal issues and the Corepoint activities undertaken are detailed. Preferred reference : Carlisle, M. & Green, D.R., (Eds.) 2008.

Cork Area Strategic Plan Strategic Cork Area It would be invidious to single out particular CASP individuals or organisations for the part they played in the evolution of this strategy. However it would be remiss if the contribution made by the City Manager Mr Joe Gavin, the County Manager Mr Maurice Moloney, and their staff were not noted. In particular the sterling work of the Steering Committee under the chairmanship of Mr Dan Buggy and secretary Mr Ger O Mahony, in guiding this study was greatly appreciated.
