Closed Fund the construction of a sea wall surrounding the whole of Great Britain

Closed on

With rising sea levels and coastal erosion rates in Britain some of the worst in Europe it's about time funding is secured to build a sea wall looping around the whole island of Great Britain to protect communities near the sea.

With a coastline of 12.4 thousand km a sea wall could cost £89Bn.

This problem is a national issue and would require major construction works to complete such a project as this proposed sea wall to protect neighbourhoods and sites such as nuclear power stations from rising sea levels and coastal erosion.
