This report sets out some Resilience and Adaptation Options for the Golspie coast.

There has been significant change to coast in and near Golspie, with an average of more than 7 meters of coastline being erroded per year since 2013. This, combined with rapidly accelerating sea level rise, has not only threatened households, businesses and infrastructure near the coast, but also led to increased incidences of inland flooding during storms and tidal surges.
