This guidance supports the appraisal of FCERM projects. You should have read the FCERM appraisal guidance manual before using this document. It’s particularly relevant for RMAs if you’re applying for FCERM grant-in-aid (GIA) funding under the Coast Protection Act 1949.

Coastal erosion is an increasingly significant risk due to climate change. This guidance helps you to assess coastal erosion, cliff instability and coastal landslides when applying for FCERM GIA funding.

It explains the existing arrangements under the Act, the principles of coastal erosion and how to assess the coastal erosion in a location. It also provides some examples of coast protection schemes and their eligibility for FCERM GIA.
