The Coastal Union is an association with members and member
organisations in 40 countries. Founded in 1989 with the aim of
promoting coastal conservation by bridging the gap between
scientists, environmentalists, site managers, planners and policy
makers, it has grown since then into the largest network of
coastal practitioners and experts in Europe, with 14 National
Branches and offices in seven countries. Our working area is
Europe and neighbouring regions (especially the Black Sea, the
Caspian and the Mediterranean).
