K1 Sacrificial/setback zones
AB At present, accelerated coastal erosion due to anthropogenic pressure is prevalent. Standard defencetechniques to combat erosion include hard/soft protection measures (hold/advance the line), accommodation,managed retreat and sacrifice. To these conventional coastal management practices, is added afurther new end point e intervention with respect to the causes, which necessitates further managementaction. Managed retreat and sacrifice areas are becoming increasingly popular options, whichinvolve the input of communities and many global examples are given of comparative studies geared to combating erosion - including management theory. In particular setback lines and shoreline management plans are emphasised and coastal erosion management policy decisions for the UK are discussed indetail, as well as examples taken on a global basis.
