Poole Bay, Poole Harbour and Wareham Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy study 2010 - links to the Environment Agency website, opens in a new window

The new strategy will develop policy options identified by the SMP Review into implementation plans which detail flood risk management solutions at specific locations.

The study is carried out by the Environment Agency and Atkins Global, in partnership with the local authorities of Bournemouth, Poole, Purbeck and Dorset County.  The study area for the strategy extends from Durlston Head to Hengistbury Head. It includes Poole Harbour and the estuaries of the Frome and Piddle up to their tidal limits.  Once it is completed and approved, the strategy will guide much of the work the Environment Agency and local authorities do in this area in the future.
