Dorset Council, working in collaboration with partners, are developing a new Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) Strategy for Portland Underhill to Wyke Regis. Once completed, the new strategy will define the long-term (100 year) sustainable, adaptable and integrated approach for implementing the Shoreline Management Plan policy for coastal flood and erosion risks.
As the project progresses, public consultation events will be available to keep the community informed and involved with opportunities to feedback during the various stages of the proposed strategy.

As the project progresses, public consultation events will be available to keep the community informed and involved with opportunities to feedback during the various stages of the proposed strategy.
We would like to hear your views, comments, and concerns regarding flooding and coastal issues in the area between Portland Underhill and Wyke Regis.
Your responses to this survey will help shape the development of a new Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) Strategy for the area. This project will identify where, when, and broadly what type of works are needed to protect this coastline from flooding and erosion.
Round 1 engagement, which ran from October to November 2023, collected views from the public and stakeholders on the key geographical areas to be covered in the Strategy. Since then, the project team has been working to develop a baseline understanding for the Strategy. This has involved undertaking a number of assessments which provide a detailed understanding of the coastal risks facing the area.
For Round 2, the team are now keen to hear from you on whether you agree with the baseline findings and have any suggestions for how the coastal risks can be managed.
Please share your views by completing this survey.

Cusp Formation - Chesil Beach
In certain sea conditions, the normally regular shoreline of the mighty Chesil Beach is transformed into miniature baylets called cusps. Waves gauge hollows in the shingle between protrusions called horns. Chesil is one of the most studied geological features on the planet, and is a gem on the Jurassic Coast on the UK's World Heritage site. Something for the geomorphologists.
