Land-sea integration platform – COASTAL
The COASTAL project represents a unique collaboration between 29 partners from 8 EU Member States, including science experts, administrations and entrepreneurs, in coastal and related urban-rural inland settings and enterprises that engage actors and stakeholders at all levels to combine scientific expertise and local knowledge in a co-creation research process.
The project aim is to improve coastal-urban-rural synergies and collaborations in identifying problems and setting up evidence-based roadmaps and policy for their solutions, considering environmental protection, including the whole continuum of inland-coastal-marine water quality, as well as economic growth, and inland and marine spatial planning. COASTAL contributes to coastal-urban-rural integration and synergy in six case study regions and the wider EU territory, and develops a durable, online platform for knowledge exchange about coastal-urban-rural interactions with concrete examples and tools for supporting land-sea collaboration and sustainable development.
