Coastal Protection Act
The Coastal protection Act has the aims to protect the coast against flooding or wave erosion. Traditionally, the act has been administered without much consideration of nature values.
Through The Coastal Protection Act there is a wide integration between the involved authorities and the landowners. The law empowers regional authorities, i.e. the county, to take their own initiatives or to respond to requests brought forward from local citizens or authorities. This ensures that co-ordination with physical planning is established at the appropriate administration level at an early stage of the project. At the same time the local municipalities and landowners are involved.
