Towards an Integrated Approach in Environmental Planning: The Europipe Experience

  • Chapter
Large-Scale Constructions in Coastal Environments

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

Abstract

The main task of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is to provide solutions to obtain a balance between ongoing economic development on the one hand, and the integrity of nature and the human environment on the other hand, in other words, a sustainable development of coastal regions. Among other things, this requires a set of specific approaches and methods, an important one being to ensure that environmental protection is integrated into all phases of project planning. Although environmental protection has already become an important part of many engineering and construction schemes worldwide, the development of concepts and experience required to meaningfully and efficiently integrate environmental protection is to date scarce.
