Scientists
from the University of Gloucestershire and Bournemouth University
believe there is a case to be made for embracing the changes and
letting nature take its course.
In partnership with the Environment Agency the University of
Gloucestershire is spearheading a project to involve local
communities in the history and understanding of flooding in the
lower reaches of the River Severn. And at Bournemouth University
researchers are actively involved in the nature verses nurture
debate to find a more sustainable means of managing our
coastlines.
One thing is clear; as climate change makes environmental forces
ever more unpredictable and the costs of flood and coastal defences
rise; we need solutions for the future that work with nature,
rather than against it.
