Vorsorgender Küstenschutz und Integriertes Küstenzonenmanagement (IKZM) an der deutschen Ostseeküste

Thomas Bosecke critically evaluates coastal protection measures of the southern coast of the Baltic Sea according to an extensive analysis of the biogeographic conditions. He proposes a cautious approach and the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). The proposed solutions are then reviewed for their legal enforceability with regard to land use planning, nature conservation, property rights and different questions concerning regulatory approval.

In his doctoral dissertation Thomas Bosecke reviews and assesses the legal subjects relevant for coastal protection and the ICZM from an environmental and preventative point of view. The research and the results can also be transferred into other fields, for example inland flood protection. The book offers important findings for the protection of the Baltic region and for the field of legal aspects of natural disasters.
