ADRIatic Sea Integrated Coastal areas and River Basin Management System (Adricosm-Star)

Description:

Adricosm-Star aims at developing an integrated coastal and river water management and modelling system which covers the area of Bojana River Delta (managed jointly by Albania and Montenegro) and the whole Montenegrian Adriatic coast. The project develops innovative components such as studies of climate change impacts on the water resources and sediment transport. This is a new element of the ADRICOSM Partnership that will be implemented for the first time in this project contributing to the general development of tools and concepts for the integrated management of the Adriatic coastal areas.
