SCOPAC hosted the CIRIA Beach Management Manual launch event at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, on the 15th October 2010.

The morning was attended by approximately 50 officers, including coastal engineers and scientists.

Speakers included Stefan Laeger from the Environment Agency and Andy Bradbury from New Forest District Council who summarised the key aspects of the manual. A special thank you goes to the Channel Coastal Observatory who provided the venue at no cost.

The Southern Coastal Group has a complimentary hard copy of the Beach Management Manual; alternatively:

• A PDF copy is available to order by CIRIA Members. 
• A paperback copy is also available to purchase online from the CIRIA website.
