Coastal Zone Management in the Baltic Sea  Region
	The project “Coastal Zone Management in the Baltic Sea region“ – “Coastman“ – has investigated interactions between environment conservation, conflict management and sustainable development in coastal zones of the Baltic Sea. Such interactions between all active interests have been neglected in the past.
	The project partners Sweden, Germany, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Russia have analysed environmental problems and assessed the risks of the Baltic Sea coast with reference to exploitation of coastal zones. They have in their case studies suggested measures to improve the situation. The Costman project has established a better coastal zone management practice via exchange in seminars, educational programmes, inspections and in dialogue with regional decision-makers. The project runs 2004-2007 The Coastman Handbook for Conflict Resolution in Coastal Zone Management is now in print and we will soon inform where this will be available. All case studies are available under Project results on this website.	Project part-financed by the European Union
