What Is Coastal Squeeze? What is coastal squeeze? Project FRS17187 We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment. Acting to reduce the impacts of a changing climate on people and wildlife is at the heart of everything we do. We reduce the risks to people, properties and businesses from flooding and coastal erosion. We protect and improve the quality of water, making sure there is enough for people, businesses, agriculture and the environment. Our work helps to ensure people can enjoy the water environment through angling and navigation. We look after land quality, promote sustainable land management and help protect and enhance wildlife habitats. And we work closely with businesses to help them comply with environmental regulations. We can’t do this alone. We work with government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and communities to make our environment a better place for people and wildlife.

This is particularly relevant where there is a legal obligation to compensate for the impacts of maintaining coastal flood management infrastructure or management activities that could lead to coastal squeeze. Compensation in these cases has normally involved creating new habitat, which can be costly.1 Accordingly, there is a strong economic impetus to improve the understanding of coastal squeeze impacts, including a need to consistently define, measure and better appreciate the uncertainty of habitat losses due to coastal squeeze. There are, nevertheless, other policy and legislative influences for positively managing, enhancing and creating coastal priority habitats (for example, as set out in national biodiversity strategies and climate change national adaptation programmes). It is anticipated that aspects of this ‘What is coastal squeeze?’ report will also be helpful in improving our understanding of the likely rate and scale of the impacts of accelerating sea level rise on coastal habitats and promoting the need to periodically review the evidence available. A number of studies carried out for the Environment Agency around England have highlighted inconsistencies in the definition of ‘coastal squeeze’, and demonstrated several problems in quantifying it. This project aims to improve understanding of what coastal squeeze is, and also to set out best practices for assessing the historic and future impacts of coastal squeeze at different scales. The main outputs from the work are: a new definition of coastal squeeze that clarifies the habitats that can be affected and the causes of habitat loss not caused by coastal squeeze a standard method and guidance for consistently assessing coastal squeeze four case studies that demonstrate how the method can be applied to mudflats, saltmarshes and sand/shingle beaches The revised definition we have produced is as follows: “Coastal squeeze is the loss of natural habitats or deterioration of their quality arising from anthropogenic structures, or actions, preventing the landward transgression of those habitats that would otherwise naturally occur in response to sea level rise (SLR) in conjunction with other coastal processes. Coastal squeeze affects habitat on the seaward side of existing structures.” The definition must be read together with the points of clarification in section 5.1 - Definition and points of clarification. The method has been summarised in 2 flow diagrams: past changes (Figure 6.1) and future changes (Figure 6.2). An initial scoping stage defines the study area, the habitats to be included and the period of interest. A subsequent screening stage allows a rapid assessment of whether or not coastal squeeze is likely to be a potential cause of habitat change. The method outlines how to quantify these changes, the relevant data sources and causes of uncertainty that apply to each step of the method. The final stage of the assessment requires expert judgement to assess whether the observed/predicted changes actually represent coastal squeeze. The method outlines 1 Providing the 11,500 compensatory habitat hectares identified by Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) policies over the next 44 years will cost at least £575 million in present day terms (Pontee, 2017). What is coastal squeeze? v how an assessment of confidence in the findings - ‘high’, ‘medium’, or ‘low’ - should be made. Where there is low confidence, 2 approaches can be taken: adopt the ‘precautionary principle’, assuming that habitat losses are, in fact, the result of coastal squeeze, and review the assessment in the future carry out further studies to increase confidence in the findings The main conclusions from the work are: To identify whether coastal squeeze is happening, an assessment must be made of the effect structures or management actions have in preventing habitat from moving landwards (transgress) or slowing its progress in response to sea level rise. This project has demonstrated that even under natural baselines (in other words, without defences), the area (extent) of habitat (for example, saltmarshes) may decrease over time if steeply rising land means there is not enough room for habitat to migrate landwards. If this happens, any resulting habitat losses would be a form of natural change (accepting that accelerated sea level rise is not really ‘natural’). Previous assessments of coastal squeeze have often lacked basic data to scientifically assess the causes of habitat loss. The limitations of past studies include the failure to scientifically demonstrate that: (i) habitat losses have been due to sea level rise (ii) habitat losses have not been due to other causes (for example, increases in wind waves, lateral channel movements) Increasing the level of confidence is vital, using the best available data from scientific studies and other sources. In some cases, additional data sets and/or analysis already exist to improve scientific understanding. The case studies suggest that historic coastal squeeze losses could be smaller than previous assessments have suggested.

  • A1a.6 Birds A1a.6.1 Introduction the UK and Its Surrounding Seas Are Very Important for Birds
    Offshore Energy SEA 3: Appendix 1 Environmental Baseline A1a.6 Birds A1a.6.1 Introduction The UK and its surrounding seas are very important for birds. The extensive network of cliffs, sheltered bays, coastal wetlands, and estuarine areas, provide breeding and wintering grounds for nationally and internationally important numbers of individual bird species and assemblages. As a signatory to a number of international conservation conventions, the UK has a legal obligation to conserve bird species and their habitats. The baseline provides a description of the main colonies and sites for seabirds and waterbirds in each of the Regional Sea areas, as well as a description of their distribution at sea. It has been compiled using a variety of resources, and draws data from recent surveys of seabird colonies and sites used by waterbirds during winter. A1a.6.2 UK context A1a.6.2.1 Seabirds and waterbirds Some twenty five species1 of seabird regularly breed in the UK and Ireland as do a number of other waterbird and wader species (Table A1a.6.1). The definition of “waterbird” varies slightly between authorities, but for the purpose of this report, waterbird includes seaducks, divers and grebes, bittern and herons, rails, crakes and coots and wildfowl (this group includes swans, geese and ducks – the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) refer to this group as waterfowl).

Louise and Jane will be exhibiting this originally commissioned work alongside performances from writer and poet, Robert Macfarlane, and jazz musician Arni Somogyi, as part of the London 2012 Festival. On 8 July, there will be two public performances by Arnie and Rob, but number are limited. Jane & Louise's piece, named 'Blind Landings', can be viewed (and heard) amongst the debris of decaying buildings, and ageing atomic weapons facilities that dominate the skyline. Paul Malpas (Engineered Acoustic Designs) spent time on this fascinating and historic place with the sisters preparing the audio environments to accompany the installations. Together they explored, auditioned and gathered recordings of the spaces in and around the buildings. The recordings have been compiled into atmospheres that will heard playing gently amongst the natural sounds of the groaning building, the gulls, the desolate North Sea. Engineered Acoustic Designs are installing F55 loudspeakers, kindly loaned from John Newsham at Funktion One, along with a bespoke arrangement of remotely powered audio sources designed to operate continuously throughout the 3 week event in locations over a mile from either shelter or mains electricity. Access to Orford Ness is managed by the National Trust by the means of a small passenger ferry from Orford Quay.
