The management of coastal erosion along the East Sussex coastline is the responsibility of the Coast Protection Authorities under the Coast Protection Act 1949. Coast Protection Authorities regularly monitor and assess the condition of the coastal cliffs in their areas. The Coast Protection Authorities for the East Sussex coastline will continue to monitor the coast line following the cliff falls during the last winter.
