Shoreline management plan
Dumfries and Galloway Council is the responsible authority for the development and implementation of the Dumfries and Galloway Shoreline Management Plan (SMP).
The SMP has been updated and establishes a robust, evidence-based and long-term sustainable approach for managing the risk of coastal flooding and erosion along each part of the Dumfries and Galloway coast. It develops an understanding of coastal issues, identifies where further work may be required to mitigate flooding and erosion through establishment of constraints and opportunities for sustainable use of the coastal zone.
The SMP was adopted by Dumfries and Galloway council on 28 April 2023.
A printed copy of the plan and associated documents is available to view free of charge at the council headquarters at English Street, Dumfries DG1 2DD, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. The plan and associated documents can also be downloaded.
