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 that the Environment Agency
and local authorities do in this area in the
future.
