This Portal will include information on innovative mitigation and adaptation technologies for coastal zones subject to multiple change factors. Technologies under consideration are:

  • ecologically-based mitigation measures (such as restoration and/or creation of habitats)
  • hydro-morphodynamic techniques (such as wave energy converters, sediments reservoirs, multi-purpose structures, overtop resistant dikes)
  • actions to reduce the impact on society and economy (such as promotion of risk awareness or spatial planning)
  • GIS-based software to support defence planning.
