About:

EUCC - UK is the national branch of the EUCC - The Coastal Union. It is based in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK at the University of Aberdeen in the Centre for Marine and Coastal Zone Management / Aberdeen Institute for Coastal Science and Management

EUCC - 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).

EUCC's mission is to promote coastal management that integrates biodiversity conservation with those forms of development that sustain the integrity of landscapes, the cultural heritage and the social fabric of our coasts taking into account the effects of climate change. EUCC advocates best practice by developing coastal and marine policies, mobilising experts and stakeholders, providing advice and information, and implementing demonstration projects.
