A high-level vulnerability assessment of natural assets along the Northern Ireland coast. It was created as part of a 2018 baseline study and gap analysis on coastal erosion risk management prepared by Amey Consulting with HR Wallingford for government departments. The assessment consists of an Erosion Risk Appraisal and a Vulnerability Assessment comparing erosion risk against asset values.
