CZM white papers

CZM White Papers present the methods and results from our consultancy and research activities. They aim to synthesise recent key outcomes from consulting projects or present methods and concepts we have found useful in our work. Our intention is to make research and consultancy outcomes public to both stimulate discussion and to add to the body of literature on practical coastal management and climate change adaptation projects. The reports are written in a simple and non-technical style, to enable broad readership.

The White Papers are ‘working documents' and while CZM staff internally review the papers, they have not been subject to an external peer review. Therefore, the accuracy of this work and the conclusions reached are the responsibility of the author(s) alone.

We very much look forward to your feedback.
