| Dorset Coast Strategy interactive map! |
 |
| DCF (with the help of Dorset Council GIS team) have created a new interactive map to support and align with the Dorset Coast Strategy objectives #EnjoyTheCoast #RespectTheCoast #CoastalInnovation #CoastalConnection and #Coastal Recovery. It is a resource for DCF members and the wider public to find information about our coast, currently including coastal designations, blue flag beaches, NCI lookout stations and RNLI lifeguarded beaches. We would like to hear your views on new layers that would be useful to you. You can find it on the Dorset Coast Strategy page on our website or on Dorset Explorer by changing version in the title bar to Dorset Coast Strategy. >> Dorset Coast Strategy Interactive map |
