This ENCORA-TTC proposal is to extend and strengthen the existing ENCORA network, by integrating two national coastal networks, which are being raised in Russia and Ukraine, and a North-African coastal network led by Algeria, including Morocco and Tunisia. The coastal zones of the new countries and the present ENCORA countries border the same regional seas: the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea. Sharing expertise will contribute to harmonising coastal policies and practices and to a better understanding of mutual impacts on neighbouring coasts and seas.
