Education/Communication/Raising awarenessCoastal University. Coastal zones are among the most productive areas in the world, offering a wide variety of valuable habitats and ecosystem services that have always attracted people and human activities. However, this intense concentration of population and excessive exploitation of natural resources puts enormous pressure on our coastal ecosystems leading to biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, pollution, as well as conflicts between potential uses, and space congestion problems. The first edition of Coastal University was created and founded in 2021 as a novel activity by one of the "Our Common Baltic" (OCB) course participants: Irin Breining, from @waterfrontsave. The workshop facilitated broader stakeholders involvement to share the knowledge on efficient ways of coastal strip protection.On-going
