About NetCoast
NetCoast is the place on the worldwide Web where
professionals in Integrated Coastal Zone Management
come for the latest relevant information, knowledge,
documents, publications, software systems, fresh links
to other sites and for professional collaboration. NetCoast
is a virtual meeting-place for everyone involved in
coastal zone issues.
NetCoast is made and maintained by the Dutch Coastal
Zone Management Centre. Responsibility for the program
lies with the Coastal Zone Management Centre, unless
otherwise specified. By starting NetCoast the Dutch
Coastal Zone Management Centre supports Integrated Coastal

expertise and shows how this expertise can be used.
NetCoast supports the development of innovative tools,
the execution of scientific research and the public-private
collaboration.
