IMG_4537_.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. This being the case, it is not a good idea to continue to build on such at risk land, yet this new developmenton the outskirts of Towyn was given planning permission.

366W9311_managed retreat.jpg The Breach at Alkborough on the Humber Estuary in Eastern England. As sea levels rise around the world many areas of low lying land are at increasing risk of coastal flooding and are getting increasingly expensive to protect. In order to protect nearby urban areas coastal realignment or managed retreat is now being used to take the pressure off during increasingly common storm surges. At Alkborough a 20 metre wide breach has been created in the sea defences to allow sea water to flood into former agricultural land creating 150 hectares of wetland. As well as protecting nearby urban areas from flooding the site also provides valuable wetland habitat for wildlife. Alkborough is currently the largest coastal realignment projec tin Europe and has been quickly colonised by wildlife.
