TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1988Description: 28p., 2 figs, 7 tables, 30 refsSubject: Institutional change is leading to more rigorous economic appraisal of coast protection works in Britain. Some methods and data employed in riverine flood protection appraisal are transferable to the coast protection appraisal case, but substantial modifications and developments of method are required to assess erosion impacts. Methodological developments are discussed through a case study of coast protection appraisal at Hengistbury Head. This case presents a wide range of economic appraisal problems - from urban flooding consequent upon erosion to loss of ecological and archaeological sites through erosion. Results of an extended economic appraisal of the proposed protection works are presented together with a discussion of the limitations of the appraisal and further methodological needs.

Institutional change is leading to more rigorous economic appraisal of coast protection works in Britain. Some methods and data employed in riverine flood protection appraisal are transferable to the coast protection appraisal case, but substantial modifications and developments of method are required to assess erosion impacts. Methodological developments are discussed through a case study of coast protection appraisal at Hengistbury Head. This case presents a wide range of economic appraisal problems - from urban flooding consequent upon erosion to loss of ecological and archaeological sites through erosion. Results of an extended economic appraisal of the proposed protection works are presented together with a discussion of the limitations of the appraisal and further methodological needs.
