Description

The European Congress on Coastal Lagoons celebrates this year 2018 its fifteen years of existence. Its first edition, in November 2003 in Ferrara (Italy), under the slogan “The Influence of River Basin-Coastal Zone Interactions”, opened a series of actions and opportunities that have been consolidated in the biannual celebration of this meeting, the creation of the Euro-Mediterranean Federation on Coastal Lagoons and the reinforce of national networks as Lagunet. In addition, numerous collaborations have been established in projects, publications and ex- changes that, without a doubt, are having impact in a solid and important advance in the study of these transitional ecosystems.
