The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an integrated knowledge document about the socio-economic, environmental and institutional aspects of the coast and sea in Flanders and Belgium. As such, it constitutes a one-stop shop for data and information from the Flemish and Belgian marine and maritime research community and experts. The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an initiative of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and was developed in close collaboration with experts from the research community, government, industry and civil society organisations. The first version of the Compendium was launched in 2013, a second edition was presented in 2015.

The [[Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (2007) | 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC 2007<ref>IPCC (2007): Climate change 2007: The physical science basis - Summary for policymakers. Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Genf, 21 p.</ref>) made evident that an ongoing global [[climate change]] will cause increased storminess and [[sea level rise]] in coastal zones. There is little doubt that the North Sea will also be affected by an accelerating rise of the sea-level, an increase in extreme weather events and a greater tidal range. In order to be prepared for future conditions, prevention measures have to be improved and methodologies to assess and manage upcoming risks have to be further developed. As there are still deficits in assessing the full range of [[flood]] impacts, new approaches have been developed for hazard analysis, [[vulnerability]] assessment, and flood risk management in the framework of the EU-project [http://www.floodsite.net FLOOD''site''] (Integrated Flood Risk Analysis and Management Methodologies). In order to apply some of these new methodologies, a pilot site application was conducted for the community of St. Peter-Ording at the German North Sea Coast combining failure probabilities of the [[coastal defence]] system with micro-scale socio-economic vulnerability analysis.

Compendium for Coast and Sea - creating a marine science-policy interface


The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an integrated knowledge document about the socio-economic, environmental and institutional aspects of the coast and sea in Flanders and Belgium. As such, it constitutes a one-stop shop for data and information from the Flemish and Belgian marine and maritime research community and experts. The Compendium for Coast and Sea is an initiative of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and was developed in close collaboration with experts from the research community, government, industry and civil society organisations. The first version of the Compendium was launched in 2013, a second edition was presented in 2015.
