• The ICGC brings together administration, research and management to address the challenges of the coast..
• Strategies and shared knowledge to protect the Catalan coast.

On March 4, at the ICGC we held the conference The Challenges of Coastal Management, a meeting aimed at professionals in the coastal field with the aim of sharing experiences and perspectives on the management of the Catalan coast.

The conference, framed within the Coastal Dynamics Information Service (SIDL) project, developed by the ICGC with funding from the Climate Fund, brought together representatives of administration, research and management to share knowledge on adaptation to climate change, the conservation of marine natural heritage and coastal planning strategies.

Throughout the day, initiatives such as the Coastal Protection and Management Plan, the ICGC coastal strategy, the Barcelona Coastal Plan and the contributions of the DREAL Occitanie on coastal management in France were presented. The day concluded with a round table in which several research centers debated how scientific knowledge can contribute to better management of the Catalan coast in the face of current environmental challenges.

With this meeting, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting tools and knowledge to promote sustainable and informed management of the coast and the territory.
