This work has therefore helped to raise awareness amongst operating authorities, of biodiversity opportunities linked to the implementation of SMP policies. It is also the intention that taking such an approach will integrate shoreline management with the long term evolution of the coast and help deliver the targets set out in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. In addition, Defra High Level Target 4 for Flood and Coastal Defence on biodiversity requires all operating authorities (coastal local authorities and the Environment Agency), to take account of biodiversity, as detailed below: Target 4 - Biodiversity By when By whom A.
