1. Development of modelling tools in decision support instruments for coastal zone
management (CZM)
Doel: The development of a set of models which will help to understand the
morphodynamic development of the Suriname Coast. Models need data. Therefore, data
collection forms an important part of the project, involving both the collection of
avaliable data from third parties, as well as the collection of new data with new
measurement equipment. Finally, all these data need to be processed, stored and
managed. The third major part thus consists of the set-up of a data base for coastal
zone data and information.
