The South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme, formerly known as Plymouth Coastal Observatory (PCO) is one of six regional programmes in a national network which collectively monitor the coast of England and Wales. It is managed and led by Teignbridge District Council in partnership with other south west of England local authorities and the Environment Agency. The programme monitors over 2,450 km of coast between Portland Bill in Dorset and Beachley Point on the border with Wales. The focus of the ongoing programme is collecting data on waves, tides, LiDAR, Aerial Photography, topographic beach surveys, storm response and ecological mapping. Data is published through its website, and is freely available for public use.
