European Action Plan for strengthening the knowledge
base of sustainable coastal and marine management
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Action Plan addresses major shortcomings in knowledge and technology that presently hamper the implementation of sustainable coastal and marine management.
It provides a reference base for future coastal and marine research investments in Europe and contributes to focusing these research efforts.
The Action Plan was established at the Paris Conference of 5-7 December 2007, organised by the European Network for Coastal Research, ENCORA. The research directions set forth in the Aberdeen Declaration were an important starting point.
