The network on multidisciplinarity and valuation for INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT is part of the ENCORA Initiative for a Coordination Action in the European coastal research and practitioners community.

Managing coastal zones implies continuous confrontation with conflicts over the allocation and use of coastal al marine resources. Conflicts link variables and processes, coming from different contexts and using different languages, measures and criteria.
