Abstract

Transforming coastal governance is essential to ensure the sustainable development and use of coastal areas. Such transformation processes may involve changes in different governance dimensions. This thematic issue focusses on five of these dimensions and the way in which changes in these dimensions are interrelated: (1) the integration of planning and management of land and sea, (2) the use of scientific knowledge, (3) the involvement of stakeholders in planning and policy processes, (4) the development and use of strategic foresights, and (5) digitalization and the use of e‐governance tools. Drawing on the experiences from the BlueGreen Governance project that covers different coastal regions in Europe as well as Reunion Island, the different contributions explore various attempts to transform coastal governance, the obstacles that actors face, and the solutions that are developed along the way.
