This document is in draft form requiring an input from Key Stakeholders
before finalisation. In reviewing the Key Objectives and High Level Objectives,
please bear in mind that these have been raised by stakeholders and, as
such, represent the aspirations of the community for the future management
of the coastline. The approach taken so far is “not to rule anything
in or out”. It is acknowledged that some of the stated objectives
may conflict with others. Consequently, the Objectives should not be regarded
as those set for the future development of the SMP policies. There is
another step in the process before the final set of SMP objectives can
be identified which considers the acceptability or otherwise of the consequences
of trying meet these objectives. This is where the question of sustainability
enters the decision-making process. No-one is being asked to “sign-up”
to these objectives but to agree that they cover the full range of “aspirational”
objectives for the coastline. We would encourage you to review and comment
on these documents via the “Contact Us” page of this website.
