Almost a decade ago the National Trust investigated how our coastline was likely to change over the next 100 years. Out of this research came the Shifting Shores <\/em>report in 2005, which held one clear message \u2014 as a nation we can no longer build our way out of trouble on the coast.<\/p>\n Fast-forward to this past winter and a succession of violent storms and extreme tides saw the erosion and flooding we thought could happen over the next 5 to 15 years occurring overnight. Increasingly, \u2018defence\u2019 as the only response now looks implausible. Instead we must adapt and take the longer view.<\/p>\n
