The new data product has been designed to assist future planning, with resilience considerations based on the natural geological characteristics of the coastal region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, Britain\u2019s coastline shoulders some of the largest tides in the world. Some areas are highly vulnerable to flooding, like Spurn Point in East Yorkshire where sea level rise is predicted to cut off Spurn Head by 2050 (based on UKCP18 climate change projections).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 17&nbsp;819&nbsp;km of coastline around mainland Britain, some 15&nbsp;per&nbsp;cent is potentially highly vulnerable to erosion. As climate change triggers sea-level rise and more extreme weather events, the effects on many of our coastlines, such as erosion, subsidence and landslides, are likely to become more frequent, scientists warn.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<div  id=\"video-760-block_6239e4f4083be\" class=\"video-wrap  \" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"position-relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i3.ytimg.com\/vi\/_qc3DE9N67M\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/video.svg\" class=\"video-play\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption sm-line\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/info-caption.svg\" alt=\"Information icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p>Coastal resilience is a key issue for our island nation and especially for those who live and work around our coastline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"into-video\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"video-section\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/_qc3DE9N67M?enablejsapi=1&#038;version=3&#038;playerapiid=ytplayer&#038;rel=0&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n<p>BGS GeoCoast brings together a range of data for coastal practitioners, local authorities and asset owners who want to underpin their decision making and planning with authoritative data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can access information on the morphology, behaviour and vulnerability of the coastline, underpinned by its geology and its coastal context, accounting for factors such as the shape of the coastline and its orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such information is essential for good coastal management and improving our understanding of coastal environments and their properties, enabling communities to better respond and build resilience to our changing coastline in the wake of more extreme weather events.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<blockquote id=\"quote-8275-block_6238e61e49c23\" class=\"quote  \" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/quote-caption.svg\" alt=\"Speech marks icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Increasing numbers of people are living in and using our coastal areas, where hazards such as flooding and erosion will continue to threaten our environment, infrastructure and livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptative strategies and effective planning decisions cannot be adopted without a thorough assessment of the area and an understanding of its unique coastal vulnerabilities.
