Coordination responsibility coastal erosion

The starting point for activities is to help to prevent damage due to coastal erosion through appropriate community planning and through well-planned erosion reduction and restoration measures for threatened buildings, infrastructure and other areas worthy of protection.

• We are the consultation body to county administrative boards and local authorities in town and country planning.
• We produce and develop knowledge in the field. We catalogue the overall conditions for erosion in Sweden.
• We collaborate with Swedish and international agencies with responsibility for or related to questions about coastal erosion. There is, for example, a Network of Agencies for Coastal Erosion issues that we run.
• Annually we arrange Coastal Meetings on different themes for municipalities in Skåne (in the southern region in Sweden) with erosion problems.
• We provide support to municipal rescue services for risk assessments in emergency situations.
