To present the coastal zone as a dynamic zone submitted to an increase in pressures of use and, thus, with a high level of risk for the infrastructures/activities that "rigidize" it. To present the main driving factors for coastal dynamics in terms of the risk that they produce. To present how the risk does develop, how to manage it and its perception by the "agents" that live at and use the coast. To present the coastal zone as a dynamic zone subject to increased use pressures and therefore with a high level of risk to the infrastructures/activities that "govern" it. To present the main drivers of coastal dynamics in terms of the risk they produce. To present how risk develops, how to manage it and its perception by the "agents" who live and use the coast.
