To review and advise on the scientific quality of the programme and recommend, if appropriate, actions to improve knowledge on the coastal systems.3. To review and recommend strategies to transfer the scientific knowledge in view of an integrated management of the coastal systems.4. To review and advise on the implementation of the various regional components of the Major Interregional Project (COMAR).The present report contains a detailed analysis by the Consultative Panel of the various components of the COMAR Project.
