Commercial and Recreational Users - Cobb Harbour Access Survey

This survey aims to find out how and when commercial and recreational users access the Cobb. This will provide valuable information for the project team to help find the least disruptive solution to undertaking essential stabilisation works to the Cobb.  

The Cobb stabilisation scheme aims to reinforce and repair the Cobb, which due to seafloor erosion has seen a significant destabilisation of the structure. There is a risk that the functionality of the Cobb as a breakwater could end in as soon as 20-25 years if stabilisation works do not go ahead. The project aims to stabilise the Cobb to maintain its status as a breakwater, a coastal flood and erosion defence and a safe harbour for many different types of vessels and businesses.

This survey will close 18th October 2023 at 5pm.
