LAGOONS

Title: Integrated water resources and coastal zone management in European lagoons in the context of climate change

Summary: The environmental issue of concern for the LAGOONS project is the anthropogenic deterioration and climate change impacts - especially the effects of extreme weather events - on surface water and lagoons ecosystems. The main objective of the LAGOONS project is to contribute to a science-based seamless strategy - in an integrated and coordinated fashion - of the management of lagoons seen under the land-sea and science-policy-stakeholder interface; i.e., the project seeks to underpin the integration of the EU Water Framework Directive, Habitat Directive, the EU's ICZM Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive. Four case study lagoons have been selected.
