Methodology:

Corine land cover was generalized and then smoothed using a search radius of 20 km and the Gaussian function to weight data in the neighbourhood, showing the reclassification of smoothed Corine land cover classes into five major land cover types. The coastal area is defined by 10 km.

The changing faces of Europe's coastal areas

The changing faces of Europe's coastal areas This report provides information on the state of the environment in the coastal areas of Europe, and provides evidence of the need for a more integrated, long-term approach. Since 1995, concern about the state of Europe's coastline has led to a number of EU initiatives, which build on the concept of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). ICZM attempts to balance the needs of development with protection of the very resources that sustain coastal economies. It also takes into account the public's concern about the deteriorating environmental, socio-economic and cultural state of the European coastline.
