'''Title:''' ''Assessing sustainability and strengthening operational policy''
<br>
<br>
'''Summary''': The objective of SUSTAIN is to create a fully implementable policy tool to help coastal authorities and communities throughout Europe to deliver sustainability on Europe’s coast. This tool will be applicable to all 22 coastal states of the European Union. It is based on a set of easily measurable sustainability indicators that were developed and assessed during the lifetime of the project to enable Authorities to measure effectively the sustainability of our coasts. 


The tool can ensure that integrated management of Europe’s coastal areas will be more sustainable in the long term. It can contribute to delivery of Europe’s renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy which was adopted by the European Council in June 2006 and aimed at bringing about a high level of environmental protection, social equity and cohesion, economic prosperity and active promotion of sustainable development worldwide.
