| − | Theme 6:
| |
| − | *Integrates research on the Effects of Development and Use on Ecomorphology and Coastal Habitats in the different European countries
| |
| − | *Evaulates existing concepts for dealing with habitat change and identifying obstacles to effective management, including major existing knowledge gaps
| |
| − | *Identifies promising technologies for recovery of habitats through the development of environmental technologies that are focused on the coastal environment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These will be carried out in close co-operation with the coastal authorities all over Europe dealing with the practical management of the coastline.
