1.1.4 The contribution of the project to coastal management At the outset it was agreed that the work should involve as many as possible of the individuals and organisations concerned with the use of the coastal margin, to reflect the complex nature of the habitats and species and the wide- ranging influence of human activities. As the project evolved, the value of this approach has been highlighted by the extent to which new approaches and information sources have been identified. The dialogue between the Coastal Directories Project funding consortium members has confirmed the importance of the project in providing basic resource information to support new approaches to coastal management. Increasingly, the regional volumes are seen as providing essential information to inform the development of coastal zone management policy at a national level. They provide information that complements the approach currently being promoted by a range of government reports. These include PPG 20: Planning Policy Guidelines: coastal planning (DoE/Welsh Office 1992), the Policy guidelines for the coast (DoE 1995) and the two consultation documents that followed up the House of Commons Environment Committee report: Development below low water mark (DoE/Welsh Office 1993a) and Managing the coast (DoE/Welsh Office 1993b) (note that these reports do not cover Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man). MAFF too has promoted the setting up of flood and coastal defence ‘coastal cell groups’, to encourage sustainable shoreline management. It has also been recognised that the summary information in the regional volumes is valuable in preparing and assessing applications for oil and gas licensing around the coastal margin. An injection of funds from the United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) made possible the early production of draft regional reports for most of the potential licensing areas in the 16th Offshore Oil and Gas Licensing Round in 1994. 1.1.5 Outputs The regional volumes are being published as hardback books. In addition a first release of coastal conservation data, covering national surveys of terrestrial habitats and coastal Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), and a second release of marine conservation data, covering marine 1.1 The Coastal Directories Project 11 Table 1.1.1 Coastal Directories project management structure Group Role Undertaken by JNCC Coastal Conservation Branch (CCB) Day to day management Head of CCB, project coordinators Project management board Liaison & executive decisions Country conservation agencies (English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, Countryside Council for Wales), JNCC Coastal Conservation Branch, Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland) Core steering group Steer work, provide information and support See page 2 Main steering group (includes, amongst Review progress, consider new developments, All members, through an annual others, all funding consortium members) provide expert advice and act as consultees steering group seminar and individually Table 1.1.2 (Provisional) titles and publication dates of products of the Coastal Directories Project Product Publication date Book editions Directory of the North Sea coastal margin 1993 Region 1.
