This Portal, embedded in the Coastal and Marine Wiki, includes 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.

THESEUS will develop a systematic approach to delivering a low-risk coast for human use and healthy habitats. Activities will be carried out using 8 study sites across Europe. A metadata catalogue listing relvant datasets availble at the 8 studysites is availble at [GKSS|http://ksrm01.gkss.de/coastdat/coastdat_php_test/theseus/browse.php]
