Abstract

The different set of indicators is used when assessing the tendencies of coastal zone's natural-social-economical environment development and dynamics. In order to ensure more sustainable development of the coastal zone at the European level unified set of 27 socio-economic and environmental indicators have been recommended for the EU member states by the European Parliament and the Council in 2002. Following this idea, number of EU-funded projects related to the Integrated Coastal Zone Management with special focus on regional sustainable development have been initiated: SAIL - State of the Coast of the Southern North Sea, DEDUCE Evaluation model for the sustainable development of European Coastal Zones; SDI-4-SEB - Sustainable Development Indicators for Integrated Coastal Zone Management of South-Eastern Last mentioned - SDI-4-SEB aims to promote the integrated way of trance-border coastal zone management in the South Eastern Baltic. The coasts of the Pomorskie Voivodship, Kaliningrad Oblast and Klaipeda County comprise unified coastal strip with identical geo-, morphological and dynamic features. This part of the Baltic coast typologically belongs to open sandy coast with similar problems of erosion, sand dynamics and economical development. Therefore environmental indicators - and among them especially geological - are of the high importance in the region.
