Thank you, Joyce Watson. And you're absolutely right—climate change is obviously having a massive impact on our weather and you referred to the hottest February I think we've had. And you could see this morning from the flash floods that we had that this is going to become ever-occurring, I think, as we go forward.

I'm very pleased you mentioned two schemes in your area, and you also made a very important point—we cannot defend all parts of Wales from flooding, but I do think there are opportunities for a much more sustainable and natural form of coastal management in certain areas. I think salt marshes, for instance, dunes and coastal vegetation can dissipate wave energy and reduce coastal flood risk. So, I really do want to encourage the use of natural flood risk management techniques as a measure for reducing risks to homes and businesses, and this position will be set out in our new national strategy.

Natural flood risk management should always be considered, I think. You referred to large-scale schemes. I think natural flood risk management should be considered when appraising any flood scheme. It may not always be the best solution—you know, we are going to need hard defences—but I think effective land management at a catchment area may be able to reduce the need for larger defences, for instance. So, I think they always should be considered.
