KOR Communications has been appointed by the South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme, a joint initiative of the Environment Agency, Defra and local authorities.

The Exeter-based consultancy will be providing strategic advice and services to help promote understanding of the South West’s ever-changing coastline. The Programme has been gathering information on the shoreline since 2006, sharing data with scientists, councils and government bodies involved in flood defence and coastal protection, as well as schools, colleges and universities.
