520 _aManaged relocation is explained and examined as an option to add to the usual categories in relation to managing coastal erosion. This paper considers the relocation of buildings in one unit, as opposed to demolition and re-construction. The standard coastal erosion management options are briefly noted and how managed relocation can fit into these options is explained. This paper focuses on four case studies. Two examples are from the United States and two from the UK; of these, two (one of each of the UK and US) took place during the 19th century. Managed relocation is proposed as being feasible in particular cases, particularly where there are isolated historic or high value buildings. References and figures. [Taken from journal abstract].
