Editorial policy

Coastal Resource aims to explain coastal subjects accurately, independently and in language a general reader can follow. We check factual claims against appropriate sources, make uncertainty visible where it matters and correct errors when they are brought to our attention.

Accuracy and context

We take care to distinguish established explanations, interpretation and uncertainty. Articles should not imply that one description applies to every coast. When a subject depends on conditions at a particular place, we say so and avoid presenting general information as a local assessment.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can tell it apart from independently produced editorial coverage. A partnership does not guarantee favourable editorial treatment.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or a misleading passage, contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and amend published material when warranted; significant changes should be made clear to readers.

Images and illustrations

Images are selected or created to support the subject without implying more certainty than the article provides. Some illustrations may be AI-generated. Where an illustration is not a documentary image of a real place or event, it should not be presented as one.
