lagoons in the context of climate change. The main and overall objectives of the LAGOONS project are to develop science-based strategies and decision support frameworks for the integrated management of lagoons, based on an increased understanding of land-sea processes and the science-policy-stakeholder interface. To this end, the project will seek to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, the EU's integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive.
