EUROSIONCoastal Erosion - Assessing the
needs for actions
Project funded by the
European Commission
COMRISK meeting – March 2003
OBJECTIVE
“To provide the European Commission with a package of recommendations on policy and management measures to address coastal erosion in the EU.
These recommendations should be based on a thorough assessment of the state of coastline and of the response options available at each level of administration.”
