Northern Ireland Coastal Erosion Risk Appraisal from 2018 Study

NI Coastal Erosion High Level Risk Appraisal shows the potential for erosion of the Northern Ireland coastline. It was created by Amey Consulting with HR Wallingford for the Department for Infrastructure and DAERA in 2018 as part of a baseline study and gap analysis. The data is available in geospatial formats like GeoJSON and ESRI Shapefile.

Use Cases

• Map coastal erosion risk zones based on the high-level appraisal layer.
• Compare erosion risk against asset values for vulnerability assessment, as referenced in the description.
• Inform coastal management and infrastructure planning using the study's identified key issues.

Strengths

• Created for a formal government study by named consultancies (Amey Consulting, HR Wallingford).
• Part of a two-stage assessment that also includes a vulnerability assessment layer.
• Available in standard geospatial formats (GeoJSON, ESRI Shapefile).

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
