The Jersey Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) provides an Island-wide assessment of the risks associated with flooding and erosion from coastal sources. It sets out a framework to manage these risks to the community, environment and economy of Jersey in a sustainable manner over the next 100 years (up to 2120). The SMP has been a joint project between the Minister for Infrastructure and the Minister for Environment and has been delivered by a cross departmental project team with officers from Growth, Housing and Environment (GHE) and Strategic Policy, Planning and Performance (SPPP).

The SMP details the management intent for the Island's coastline over the next 100 years (up to 2120). The aim is to prevent and manage the effects of coastal erosion and flooding. The impact of climate change on rising sea levels over time has been assessed. The plan considers risks to the community, environment and economy of Jersey. It takes into account the coastal defences that are in place around the Island.

The SMP will inform wider strategic planning, the development of the Island Plan and the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan. The SMP also provides evidence for other work, such as Emergency Plans, as outlined in the Government Plan.

The draft SMP was the subject of a full public consultation from July to September 2019. The consultation responses are included in the Communications Plan document.
