Dorset Coast Strategy - 1999
In 1999 the Dorset Coast Strategy was published. Developed by the Dorset Coast Forum, it sets out a future for the coast, covering the coastline and inshore seas from Lyme Regis to Highcliffe. A revised version of the Dorset Coast Strategy is currently being written due to be completed by the end of 2010.
There are four key elements to the Dorset Coast Strategy:
Vision: A clear vision of the future of the Dorset Coast
Principles: A basis for widespread agreement on future planning and management
Priorities: Nine priorities for the future management of Dorset's coast
Action: Detailed policies and actions to achieve progress with each priority.
The Dorset Coast Strategy is available as a pdf document, there are also French, German and Spanish versions available.
In 2005 the Dorset Coast Strategy was reviewed. The results of the review were published in the document State of the Dorset Coast.
