RICHARD LOCHHEAD WELCOMES COASTAL EROSION FUNDING FOR MORAY

Richard Lochhead MSP for Moray has welcomed over £200k of funding for projects in Moray aimed at tackling coastal erosion.

Three projects in Moray – Kingston Recharge, Monitoring Moray Coast, and Near-Real Time Coastal Resilience Modelling – will each receive a share of £1m of funding from the Scottish Government’s Coastal Change Adaption Programme.

Commenting Mr Lochhead said:

“I’m really pleased to see coastal erosion projects in Moray secure this funding from the Scottish Government.

“Coastal erosion has been a serious concern for people in Kingston and communities along the Moray coast for some time, and it’s vital that the local authority is working with local communities as we face the impact of erosion and rising sea levels.

“Climate change is already having a real impact here in Moray and I welcome this funding from the Scottish Government which will improve our understanding of how our coastline is changing and how we can adapt.”
