The ENCORA Coordination Action, European Network for Coastal Research, has started 1 February 2006. ENCORA will provide a European networking frame and a set of networking mechanisms, which help solving 3 major causes for stagnation in the implementation of ICZM in Europe:
ENCORA will develop several services to facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience Europe-wide within and between the communities of coastal science, policy and practice. These services are delivered by National Coordination Offices (NCO's) in 13 European countries, which rely on National Coastal Networks established in each country, and on Thematic Networks. The trans-national cross-disciplinary Thematic Networks are led by institutions with outstanding expertise and deliver a European Directory of coastal expertise and European Action Plans to address major existing deficiencies in coastal knowledge and coastal practices. Participants from all European countries are invited to participate in the Thematic Networks.
