IMCORE
IMCORE stands for Innovative Management for Europe’s Changing Coastal Resource.
Scientists and practitioners involved in coastal management from Ireland, the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be working together as expert couplets. This is how local government authorities and research groups will work together to identify the key processes that lead to the socio-economic consequences of climate change of their local area, supported by a network of trans-national cooperation.
From the IMCORE Website:
How can the coastal areas of North West Europe best be adapted to climate change?
We need to increase our capacity to respond to the [[Ecological, Social and Economic impacts of climate]] on the viability of coastal sectors such as fisheries and aquaculture, ports and shipping, marine recreation, and the defence of coastal communities from flooding and erosion. To date, most attention has been focused on predicting the types and rates of change likely to occur but what is needed now is a method to identify the adaptation measures that need to be applied to coastal use and management. This project aims to address this by developing a methodology and templates to aid Coastal Managers across NW Europe in developing the required adaptive strategies.
