Project Overview: 

This project addresses the challenge of clearing unexploded ordnance (UXO) from marine environments. Historical activities, including wartime operations and post-war disposal, have left dangerous munitions in coastal areas, particularly in the North and Baltic Seas. The initiative focuses...

The goal of the COASTAL project is to formulate and evaluate business solutions and policy recommendations aimed at improving the coastal-rural synergy to foster rural and coastal development while preserving the environment. Rural development in the EU is increasingly affected...

COEXIST was a broad, multidisciplinary project which evaluated competing activities and interactions in European coastal areas. The ultimate goal of the COEXIST project was to provide a roadmap for a better integration, sustainability and synergies across the diverse activities taking place in the European...

CrossGov aims to enhance knowledge on how coherence and cross-compliance of marine related policies and legislation affect realizing the Green Deal goals for biodiversity protection, zero pollution and climate change adaptation and mitigation. The project will develop 5 case studies...
