Abstract
A key question is how to find balance between naturalness/attractiveness of the environment, social and economic needs of the coastline’s stakeholders (industrial parties, communities, tourists, citizens,…) and sustainable innovations and solutions. The Blue BALANCE project aims to guide all stakeholders towards sustainable transitions of the Flemish coastal region to create a social support base and license to operate for sustainable innovation and development.
