The Arc Manche Assembly is a maritime network of French regions and English local authorities bordering and in the Channel Area. (Cornwall to Kent and Brittany to Nord-Pas de Calais). All levels of government and public bodies are represented.

On 3 December 2008 the Assembly will be hosting a conference in Folkestone UK entitled Adaption to Climate Change – Channel Communities in a Changing Economic Tide at which all aspects of the effect global warming on the Channel's coastal environments and its communities will be considered. The conference is unique in its focus on the effect of climate change on Channel communities and the debate will be based on modelling information from the UK Climate Impact Programme, in connection with relevant socio- economic information.

The detailed programme will be available later.

This conference is important to SANY as all the key decision makers in this large region will be there and it is these decision makers who are the SANY target audience. The organizers are keen to highlight the latest modelling techniques and to consider how well decision making processes can react to rapidly changing scenarios.

SANY SP5 partners have been invited to present the contribution which the SANY project can make to marine risk management, primarily in connection with bathing water quality and beach management. If the organizers agree, we shall present a live demonstration of the latest working version of the SP5 development.
