Campaign for Coastal Defence

Selsey is Under Threat

With global warming, sea levels are rising and the sea is stormier. Our coast defences need repair and occasional renewal, but there’s not enough Government money for this. As a result, the District Council can’t continue to rebuild the coast defences as it has done in the past.  Homes will be lost if nothing is done – so for current and future generations of Selsey residents, action is needed!

SOS are a group of volunteers committed to bring the issues to your attention and campaign for short and long term strategies that will SAVE OUR SELSEY.

On this site you can read more about SOS’s campaigning, how it successfully got a “hold the line” policy for Selsey’s seafront, and how it now supports efforts to find money to implement this policy. You can also register your interest, join us and play an active part in our campaign.

Our only regular posting on this site is SOS’s monthly column in “Selsey Life”. For the latest information on coastal issues at Selsey (and beyond) go to the MPSG website [hyperlink to www.mpsg.org.uk ].  SOS was a founder member of MPSG, an independent organisation which has now developed into the leading coastal group in the wider area.

We are also part of the England-wide “National Voice of Coastal Communities” (NVCC). You will find further information on coastal issues on their website here
