Many thanks to Matthijs Boersema for such a warm welcome to the MANABAS Coast project, at the Sand Motor (Den Haag, NL). Great that @DynamicCoasts and @nature_scot can join PolicyReflectanceGroup. Mainstreaming Nature-based Solutions is essential on our coastlines.

‘New coastal park’ which is dynamic, to address overtopping, and keep new assets out of harm’s way. 👏🏻 thanks Dylan (AECOM) & Jude (collective architecture). – at Scotland, United Kingdom

#SeaLevel is rising & quickening across the UK - one of the main reasons #CoastalErosion is increasing in Scotland & elsewhere. @DynamicCoasts ID'ed £1.2bn of asset at risk by 2050 unless we act. 👏@metoffice 'State of Climate' report tinyurl.com/5n773nch NB pos Storn. anomaly
UK map showing relative sea level rise rates for last 30 years. Stornoway 5mm/yr, Wick 3.5mm/yr, Tobermory 4mm/yr & Leith 3.6mm/yr.

ALT UK map showing relative sea level rise rates for last 30 years. Stornoway 5mm/yr, Wick 3.5mm/yr, Tobermory 4mm/yr & Leith 3.6mm/yr.

Sea-level rise • The rate of sea-level rise in the UK is increasing, with selected locations recording a range from 3.0 ± 0.9 to 5.2 ± 0.9 mmyear−1 over the past 30 years when corrected for vertical land movement, compared to the 1.5 ± 0.1 mmyear−1 since 1900s. • For the 20th century the rate of sea-level rise around the UK is close to the estimate of the global sea-level rise. • Storm surges of over 1.5 m were seen during Storm Arwen, but extreme sea levels were avoided as this occurred during low water and a neap tide.

Great discussions with @nature_scot board today at #Montrose about the essential role of #nature in #ClimateChange #adaptation and #resilience. – at Montrose, Scotland
NatureScot board and DynamicCoast project manager looking at eroding dunes at Montrose. Better managing materials is essential for our climate change efforts!
