Coastal Advisory Group (NEKSCAG) has produced the
voluntary NE
Kent Research Code (pdf 319kb) for anyone
carrying out research in the area to complement the Thanet Coastal Codes.
Research - Potential Project List:

Coastal Research Conferences
NEKSCAG organises a research conference every two
years as a forum for local coastal research projects that help
provide the scientific basis and discussion to inform future
management decisions.
Conference reports:
Biennial research conferences have been run in 2008, 2006, 2004
and 2002 to provide a forum for anyone interested in research,
management issues and establishing the sustainable use of our
coastal natural resources.
Conference reports can be downloaded in sections by clicking the
