Coastal strips, especially those between the sea and land, are morphologically sensitive and depend on a delicate equilibrium between marine processes and sediment deposits. The partner regions are all exposed to a greater or lesser extent to coastal erosion. This erosion has worrying effects on the environment, which are aggravated by the rising sea level, deepening of the sea bottom, more frequent storms and coastal flooding and erosion. Overall objective / Objectif général Based on the experience of the Beachmed project financed by IIIB MEDOCC, Beachmed-e focuses on strategic management of coastlines with the aim of achieving sustainable development of coastal areas facing a constant threat of erosion. The common coastal management strategy proposed by the operation aims to identify instruments to evaluate the condition of the coast, to restore the coastal strip and to apply planning as well as to draw up a regulatory framework on coastal management. Also a study will be carried out on the creation of a European Observatory for the defence of the Mediterranean coasts. Expected results / Résultats attendus The results expected are the identification of measures to mitigate coastal erosion, acceptance of recommendations for land planning in the regions, improved management of coastal domains and the provision of innovative territorial technologies. Master plans and technical reports will also be drawn up for subsequent implementation. Moreover, the project aims to draw up guidelines and recommendations so that the results of the RFO can be included in policies and regulations in the participating regions.
