Description

Final report of the EUROSION Study 2004. The EUROSION study, commissioned by the Directorate-General for the Environment following an initiative by the European Parliament, set out to quantify the status, impact and trends of coastal erosion in Europe and assess needs for action at EU, Member State and regional levels. The findings and policy recommendations of this study are reported in this publication. The EUROSION study concludes that efforts should be made to improve coastal resilience through improved sediment management and allocation of sufficient space for coastal processes.
