英格兰和威尔士在认识海岸变化方面有着悠久的历史，海岸形态会根据侵蚀和加积的变化模式进行调整，特别是在港口和河口填海附近。应对沿海变化的长期历史可以与沿海工程的历史、沿海管理的更广泛发展以及最近的海岸线管理联系在一起，海岸线管理是管理不断变化的海岸的洪水和侵蚀风险的政策框架。沿海地区的变化是持续和长期的，因此管理必然是一个过程，有效的实施需要适当的监测方案，以便为管理决策提供信息。监测还有助于实施适应性和灵活的解决方案，这些解决方案考虑到未来气候等固有的不确定性，促进适应良好而不是适应不良的结果。鉴于目前的海平面上升和气候变化的速度加快的关注，本文认为，在英格兰海岸线管理和支持国家监测计划的发展，以评估是否SMP过程仍然是有用的，在这些情况下。这些经验教训可以广泛借鉴。
England and Wales has a long history of recognising coastal change, where coastal morphology adjusts in response to changing patterns of erosion and accretion, especially in the vicinity of ports and reclamations in estuaries. The long history of responses to coastal change can be linked to the history of coastal engineering, the wider development of coastal management; and most recently shoreline management, as a policy framework for managing flood and erosion risks on changing coasts. Coastal change is ongoing and long-term so that management is necessarily a process and effective delivery requires an adequate monitoring programme to inform management decisions. Monitoring also enables adaptive and flexible solutions to be implemented that take account of the inherent uncertainties such as future climate, promoting well adapted rather than mal-adapted outcomes. Given the current concerns about accelerated rates of sea-level rise and climate change this paper considers the development of both shoreline management and the supporting national monitoring programme in England to assess whether the SMP process remains useful in these circumstances. The lessons and experience are widely transferable.
