Artificial Coastal Defences |
| Description |
Produced as part of Scotland's Dynamic Coast (National Coastal Change Assessment — Phase 2) research programme and maintained by NatureScot, the Artificial Coastal Defences dataset (dc2defenceline) maps digitised artificial sea-front defences along Scotland's coastline. Compiled to document pre-existing coastal protection structures and constrain coastal erosion projections under the Dynamic Coast FutureCoast shoreline models, the layer captures seawalls, revetments, embankments, and groynes across Scotland (comprising 2,162 linear asset records). Note: Dynamic Coast analyses are intended for strategic coastal change assessment and cannot be used for property-level assessments |
