Abstract: The role of a voluntary local coastal partnership in managing a potential managed realignment scheme in the Forth Estuary is examined. The processes involved in developing the scheme are outlined, as are the inputs from the Forum and other bodies. We conclude that the management of the scheme through the Forth Estuary Forum allowed a neutral body to bring the proposals to the community, to develop a consensus and move towards implementation of the scheme. It is proposed that local coastal fora are appropriate bodies to champion managed realignment schemes, both in the Forth and in other areas.
