Integrated assessment for catchment and coastal zone management: The case of the Humber

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Environmental Science ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

In the context of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), EU Member States are required to introduce water quality objectives for all water bodies, including coastal waters. Given the impact of catchment fluxes on coastal water quality, decision-making at the catchment scale is essential. This chapter investigates the use of integrated assessment as an overall decision-support process and toolbox in the Humber estuary.
