SUSCOD

SUSCOD stands for Sustainable Coastal Development in practice.  The Project involves partners from North Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and the UK, who share their experiences whilst implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management in pilot projects. Partners try out tools that have been used successfully elsewhere, and report how well these tools worked in their particular situation.

Based on these experiences, a set of tried and tested tools is collected in a web-based toolbox, known as the ICZM Assistant, which will be made available to people in other coastal regions which are involved with different aspects of coastal management.

The Coast Magazine

The Coast Magazine usefully summarises the work completed during the SUSCOD project.

The pilot projects, work packages, ten golden tips and the ICZM Assistant are all presented and the magazine also feature a range of pictures from the partner areas.
