SCOPAC the Southern Coastal Group SCOPAC and The Southern Coastal Group The importance of working together SCOPAC STANDING CONFERENCE Southern ON PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COASTLINE Coastal Group INTRODUCTION The Standing Conference on Problems Associated with the Coastline (SCOPAC) and The Southern Coastal Group (SCG) are networks based in central southern England. They bring together neighbouring Local Authorities (LA) and organisations that are involved, or interested in, the management of the coastline. Whilst they formed as separate groups, they now work as sister organisations to share and develop research, best practice and resources within the region. WHAT IS SCOPAC? SCOPAC was born out of a meeting between officers, councillors and statutory bodies on the Isle of Wight in 1986. It was recognised that there was a need for neighbouring LA’s and organisations to work together more closely. By communicating regularly, sharing knowledge and collaborating, different groups could develop a more holistic understanding of the complex coastal issues facing the region: without the limitations of LA boundaries. Covering the area between Lyme Regis and Shoreham-by-Sea, SCOPAC helps to fund and develop a co-ordinated and sustainable approach to coastal risk management. This is largely done through commissioning research and sharing information. WHAT IS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL GROUP?? The Southern Coastal Group (SCG) formed in September 2008 and is 1 of 7 strategic groups across the country, as prescribed by Defra. Working in an area between Portland Bill and Selsey Bill, this group is able to share issues and opportunities by bringing coastal managers from LA’s, the Environment Agency and other coastal stakeholders together. Through this officers are able to share best practice, influence local and national policies and realise efficiencies.

However, there are now a number of increasing pressures on coastal management which are threatening the wider sector. These include; climate change and sea level rise, public sector austerity and budget cuts, retirement of knowledgeable senior engineers and shifting policy and guidance. This document has been developed to showcase the work of SCOPAC and the SCG and to illustrate why now, more than ever, the continuation and reinvigoration of the groups is paramount to ensure we continue to work together effectively to face these new challenges.
