PROJECT FICHE

BASIC INFO

Acronym
CONSCIENCE
Full Project title
Concepts and Science for Coastal Erosion Management
Start Date
01/03/2007
Ending Date
28/02/2010
Research Area
POLICIES-3.4
Aims & Objectives
Aims to develop and test concepts, guidelines and tools for the sustainable management of coastal erosion based on the best available scientific knowledge and on existing practical experience. It will contribute to the implementation of a common European coastal erosion management policy. We will use and define four coastal management concepts: coastal resilience, coastal sediment cell, strategic sediment reservoir and favourable sediment status. Relevant parameters and thresholds to qualify and quantify coastal resilience and favourable sediment status will be developed.
