Period

2019-2022

The objectives of the RE-COAST project are to develop tools to optimize the planning and risk management of fishing populations, increase their resilient to climate change, and, also, incorporate the conditions derived from the effects of climate change into planning and providing populations with a warning system.

Action 1

Increase the information available and tools needed for risk management and the establishment of warning systems for the effects of climate change in coastal areas.

Action 2

Improve coastal zone planning using sustainable and resilient models.

Action 3

Strengthen the capacities of relevant authorities and raise awareness of the effects of climate change and their role in increasing resilience.
