Manhood Peninsula Partnership Caring for Chichester’s Coastal Communities. The Manhood Peninsula Partnership was inspired by local residents to promote a sustainable way forward for addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges posed to the area by climate change.
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Coastal Management A large part of the Manhood is less than 5m above sea level and at risk from flooding, both inland and coastal. It is likely that climate change will increase this risk, through rising sea levels, rising water tables and increased precipitation intensity. Drainage is an increasing problem in the Manhood as the existing ditches are proving inadequate to handle increased run-off resulting from recent development and heavier rainfall. Plans...
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Climate Change The Manhood Peninsula is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, rising water table, and more intense precipitation.

Our Partnership

Our Partnership

The Manhood Peninsula Partnership is a resident-inspired partnership of local communities, local and national government agencies, and other bodies involved in the Manhood. During the past decade the MPP has helped create a wider understanding of the issues facing the area and has forged a new way of working together for the benefit of the peninsula and its people. The Manhood population is proud of its environment and communities and by working more closely with local and national agencies it hopes to ensure a future that will be both sustainable and positive. The members of the partnership, meeting 3-4 times a year, have initiated local projects, been part of international and national projects and supported local initiatives ranging from cycle paths to improved drainage. Most of all, the MPP has put the Manhood on the map and made its residents – and the local authorities that serve it – realise that this is a special place with unique qualities.
