The International Environment Institute of the University of Malta has launched a book titled Coasts And Conflicts: Towards Harmonisation And Integration In The Mediterranean.
The authors, Elisabeth Conrad and Louis F. Cassar, present a concise and holistic overview of coastal management issues and techniques in the Mediterranean.
The handbook is part-financed by Interreg IIIB Archimed through the project Econet-Cohast.
The project seeks to address the need to establish and adopt environmental management tools and methodologies in the central and eastern Mediterranean.
Further information on the project can be accessed through www.econet-coast.eu.
The book launch was chaired by Alfred J. Vella, Pro-Rector, University of Malta.
