The
preservation of the environment and the
recovery of coastal areas are necessary
elements to guarantee the sustainability
of the coast of the Balearic Islands and
are equally defining elements in the maintenance
and improvement of the population’s
wellbeing, the competitiveness of economic
activity and the conservation of natural
heritage and the social and cultural values
of the islands’ residents.
|
|
Responding
to these needs, the Government of the
Balearic Islands and the Spanish Higher
Council of Scientific Research (CSIC)
created, in February 2005, within IMEDEA
the Integrated Coastal Area Management
Unit (UGIZC), an initiative that takes
as its starting point the need for quality
research as a key element in achieving
a truly sustainable management of the
coast of the Balearic Islands.
|
|
This
initiative comprises more than thirty-five
research projects and more than fifty
researchers from various discipline, something
that makes I+D+i GIZC the most important
interdisciplinary research project for
Balearic society.
