Who are we?
The Severn Estuary Coastal Group is a technical group of local authorities and other key organisations that shares an interest in the management of the shoreline around the Severn Estuary.
Established in 1993, SECG works to promote a coordinated and sustainable approach to coastal risk management and to facilitate the duties and responsibilities of local authorities and other organisations managing coastal protection & flood defence issues around the Estuary.
The area covered by the group spans from Lavernock Point in Wales to Anchor Head and Haw Bridge in England.
