1. What is National Coastal Erosion Risk Mapping (NCERM)?

Created: 28 January 2025 Updated: 28 January 2025

The National Coastal Erosion Risk Map provides the best available national information on coastal erosion risk and will be used by coastal risk management authorities and the Environment Agency to inform coastal management investment and local planning decisions.   

The map includes coastal erosion projections for England through this century and provides an updated assessment of residential and non-residential properties at risk. It also takes into account the latest coastal management approaches set out in Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs).
