Futurecoast (3rd Party Data)
In 2000, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the National Assembly for Wales commissioned Halcrow to develop Futurecoast, a completely new way of predicting shoreline evolution. The analysis it contains gives a better understanding of coastal systems and their characteristics, and it is now being used to create the next generation of Shoreline Management Plans. The main format is oblique aerial photos taken from helicopter of the entire GB coastline, linked to the Ordnance Survey map. They were produced by DEFRA in conjunction with Halcro, expressly to assist in the shoreline management planning process. A 'behavioural systems' approach, such as was adopted by the FUTURECOAST project, involves the identification of the different elements that make up the coastal structure and developing an understanding of how these elements interact on a range of both temporal and spatial scales. In this exercise it is the interaction between the units that is central to determining the behaviour. Feedback invariably plays an important role and changes in energy/sediment inputs that affect one unit can in turn affect other units, which themselves give rise to a change in the level of energy/sediment input. Whilst the starting point for a behavioural system is the energy and sediment pathways, it is important to identify the causative mechanism as a basis for building a robust means of predicting the response to change. This must take account of variations in sediment supply and forcing parameters, such as tide and wave energy. However, it is also important to look for situations where the system response is to switch to a different state, for example, the catastrophic failure of a spit, or the switching of channels as a consequence of episodic storm events.
