Mission Statement

The LGA Coastal SIG champions the collective interests of coastal, estuarine and maritime communities by increasing awareness and debate on environmental, economic and social issues at all levels in relation to the coast.  We have 57 member councils from around the English coastline.  We are co-secretariat for the Coastal Communities APPG, chaired by Sally-Ann Hart MP, which gives us a direct line to raise key coastal and emerging issues facing local areas and councils up to government.  National agencies and government organisations ask SIG to feed into their workstreams and to provide joint responses that reflect the needs of our unique coastal communities. We also have Working Groups for specific issues such as Coastal Adaptation, Coastal Landfill and Coastal Water Quality amongst others which have their own work plans to champion these important issues.
