Toulon Provence Mediterranean Metropolis - Towards a metropolitan strategy for integrated coastal management: development of decision support tools

1 - Cerema's action

Cerema's study program includes 3 complementary missions:

• the state of the art, diagnosis of the metropolitan coastline,

• the analysis of the probable evolution of the metropolitan coastline,

• proposals for solutions to adapt to climate change.

2 - The expected results

Each phase of the study will be the subject of a report, while a final document will take the form of a methodological guide to help for decision making prior to the actions of coastal development. In addition, the GIS data produced will be formatted to be uploaded to the regional platform Mon Littoral. Partners such as the Var Department, the Southern Region or the Conservatoire du Littoral will be able to rely on the deliverables to extend their scope to the department or the region.
