Cuckmere Estuary Partnership

Q: Have the Dutch been consulted about sea defences?

A: The Dutch Government’s policy for coastal defence differs greatly from UK’s, primarily because they face very different problems, with large proportions of their land lying below sea level. However, like many other countries, the Dutch have undertaken managed realignment in some areas. In considering the future management of the estuary, the Partnership is keen to learn from other projects both around the country and further afield.
