Objectives
The project 'Measuring, monitoring, and
managing sustainability: the coastal dimension' is supported by the European Commission's
Programme for
International Cooperation with Developing Countries (INCO-DC) under its
Research and Technological Development (RTD) activities. '
Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the
project involves investigations on how societal driving forces – demographic,
commercial and market, cultural, and technological – interact with natural systems
and impact on coastal resources of India. From these investigations it proposes to design
a system to measure, monitor, and manage coastal area development with a view to promote
sustainable economic development. More specifically, the project aims at studying selected
locations to identify:
 the key variables affecting coastal resources and ecosystems,
the policy choices faced by decision makers, and
the information requirements and decision-making instruments
necessary for effective management.
