Combining sea and coastal planning in Europe

Closed

The C-SCOPE partnership was created to achieve a seamless, integrated approach to land and sea planning and management. The purpose of the project is to provide the foundation for strong, vibrant and sustainable coastal economies, which are in harmony with the environment. Involving all maritime sectors in their endeavours, both partners are concerned with encouraging and promoting sustainable and integrated management of the coast and ensuring that its inherent natural and cultural qualities are maintained and enhanced for the benefit of future generations. The project will achieve its objectives by developing a framework for integrating terrestrial and marine planning, tools for achieving sustainable coastal economies and environments – such as a planning tool for decision-making in the coastal zone, a coastal atlas and indicators – and engaging with stakeholders on their commitment to ICZM.
