Coastal management
New Forest has around 40 miles of coastline, ranging from sandy beaches to saltmarshes and cliffs. Around 90% of it has some form of nature conservation designation and it is host to many important habitats and species. Taking care of the coastline is the responsibility of New Forest District Council, often working in partnership with other parties.
