The UK is testing a managed retreat in North Norfolk, spending £15M to relocate homes and infrastructure as erosion worsens.
The UK is piloting a managed retreat strategy in North Norfolk, allocating over £15 million to the Coastwise project to explore abandoning homes and infrastructure instead of fighting coastal erosion with traditional sea walls.
The initiative, responding to accelerating sea-level rise and storm intensity, evaluates buyouts, mobile housing, early warnings, and relocating graveyards.
