What can I do?
Find out how the shoreline along your shooting area could change by viewing the maps of relevant shoreline management plan. If you are a member of a wildfowling club make sure the club is at least registered as having an interest. If you have your own sporting interests you may wish to attend local drop-in sessions, details of theses are posted on the relevant website.

What is BASC doing?
Coastal land managed by wildfowlers can play a key role in flood defence thus protecting local communities. BASC has written to wildfowling clubs with interests on relevant coastal sections to make them aware of each consultation and our interest in them. Any feedback received by BASC from those clubs and any other BASC members will be considered in the formulation of BASC's responses.
