Abstract | This guidance document discusses the idea of ‘ecological enhancement’ of hard coastal
structures and how it can be imbedded in the design and planning process, from conception
through to construction. The guidance examines the opportunities, benefits and policy
drivers for incorporating ecological enhancements where hard coastal structures are being
considered, examines entry points for incorporating these considerations in the planning
process, and outlines which stakeholders need to be involved at each stage. |
