Coastal

Until August 2010 4NW provided the secretariat function for the North West Coastal Forum 

The North West Coastal Forum is a multi-agency partnership bringing together stakeholders from the public, private and voluntary sectors working to promote and deliver integrated management for our coastal areas to ensure their long term sustainability. The Forum is a unique regional organisation, which has been promoted as a model of good practice in the UK. The ambitious agenda will be achieved through Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) - a process which brings together all those in the development, management and use of the coast within a unified framework. ICZM will enable our coastal areas to be more effectively and creatively managed.

This site opens up the work of the Forum in creating a dynamic coast with diverse, competitive and sustainable local economies, clean bathing water, vibrant and supportive communities and thriving ports and airports with a range of sustainable tourism and recreation access routes.
