OURCOAST project: Xenia I. Loizidou, Director of ISOTECH, undertook a contract, as coastal expert, to deliver the Cypriot pilot cases for the OURCOAST project.
“OURCOAST is a service contract commissioned by the General Directorate (DG) Environment of the European Commission to support and ensure the exchange of experiences and best practices in coastal management. The overall goal of OURCOAST is to create an information base and groundwork that will further support implementation of ICZM in coastal areas. The establishment of long-lasting information mechanisms will promote the sharing of experiences and practices throughout Europe.Through OURCOAST, the European Commission wants to ensure that lessons learned from the ICZM experiences and practices throughout Europe can be shared and are made accessible to those who are seeking sustainable solutions to their coastal management issues (see http://ec.europa.eu/environment/iczm/ourcoast.htm).”
