SUMMARY:Blyth abandoned: sound science or flawed policy? - Richard Steward
 \, Blyth Estuary Group
DTSTART:20150326T191500Z

UID:TALK53428@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Peter Watson
DESCRIPTION:In 2005 the Environment Agency published the ‘Blyth Estuary 
 Strategy’ with the startling claim that our 400 year old Blyth river def
 ences were ‘unsustainable’ and would be abandoned over the next 24 yea
 rs.  My talk will focus on the assumptions and modelling used to justify t
 he abandonment and the climate change predictions that drive our Governmen
 t’s destructive coastal policy.
