To have in place, at the end of three years,a fully implementable policy tool,
applicable for all 22 coastal states of the EU,
which will enable the measurement ofsustainability in coastal areas.

to increase the sustainability of partner municipalities
through interchange of experience and transfer of practice
during the lifetime of the project, as well as beyond, on
sustainability issues
to draw up a definitive list of sustainability criteria for a
coastal future which can be readily implemented
to self-assess the identified sustainability criteria in order
that they can be used on a Pan-European scale

SUSTAIN is designed to help transfer of beneficial ideas
between the partner regions.
The aim is to improve the socio-economic balance between
coastal communities by exploring how partners have
