Poster campaign

We have a series of posters on display around the Pevensey and Eastbourne area to help raise awareness of the project – have you seen them yet?

Below is a summary of the collection of posters along with a summary of what they are all showing. If you have any questions please email us at pevenseyandeastbournecoast@environment-agency.gov.uk or contact us via the forum page.

Exploring how the coastline will change

This poster relates to the predicted sea level rise over the next 100 years due to climate change. We are facing a climate emergency as sea levels are predicted to rise by more than a metre over the next 100 years, along with an increase in the risk of coastal flooding and erosion. You can find out more about the possible solutions for the coastline here.

Historical coastline changes

This poster shows how the coastline from Pevensey Bay to Eastbourne would have looked in 340AD. This historic map was produced by Stuart Murrell, a local historian in 1980.

The current coastline is marked on the poster with a dashed line to show how the it has changed over the years. This change has been is gradual and is not seen on a day-to-day basis. With sea levels predicted to rise by at least 1 metre over the next 100 years, the coastline will constantly be changing.

Share your photos

The coastline is constantly changing. It can be difficult to see the changes on a daily basis as they are gradual. One way of seeing how the landscape has changed over time can be from looking at old maps and photos of an area. As part of this scheme, we are inviting you to send us your photos of the coastline from Pevensey Bay through to Eastbourne. This will help us to create a clearer picture of what the coastline previously looked like and see how it has changed over time.

Email your photos to us at pevenseyandeastbournecoast@environment-agency.gov.uk or post them to Instagram using #PevEbCoast
