| Abstract: | In this paper, using scenario-based stakeholder engagement which brings together stakeholder analysis, climate change (hereafter as: c-c.) management scenarios and deliberative techniques, the necessary trade-offs associated with long term coastal planning (here as: c-plng.) are examined. The method is applied to two case studies of c-plng. in Christchurch Bay (of England) and the Orkney Islands (of Scotland). Several conflicting preferences exist on the ideal governance structure to manage the coast under different c-c. scenarios. In addition, it is shown that public understanding of the trade-offs that must be made is critical in gaining some degree of public support for long term coastal decision making. |
