TRANSCOAST

Closed

The main aim of TRANSCOAST is to strengthen the economic vitality of coastal regions in the 2 Seas area by supporting the planning, design and implementation of measures to transform derelict and sub-standard port areas into new functions – most notably as marinas and facilities for maritime leisure and tourism (yachting, water sports). The partners from around the entire zone are all planning or starting a transformation of their degraded port areas to give their towns and regions a socio-economic impulse and chose to enhance their efforts by benefitting from each others’ experience. Their main activity targets the physical regeneration of port areas in decline, but partners will also address the challenges of port safety in the transition from commercial ports to marinas. The partnership will also mobilise local communities to engage in the maritime economy in the wake of these transformations, and to encourage them to use these in their everyday life, for their employment, recreation and overall quality of life.
