Due to the very high density of population in the coastal belt, numbers of urbanized coastal areas are today exposed to risks induced by extreme marine events. This is especially the case for the French-Spanish Basque and Catalan coasts, which are regularly hit by intense storms. Moreover, this risk exposure tends to increase due to the global warming, which results in both an increase in mean water level and an intensification of extreme meteorological events. In this context, the MAIN OBJECTIVE of MARLIT project is to improve knowledge and tools to better understand the impacts of nowadays and future storms on the shore, with the aim of supporting coastal risks management by public administrations. MAIN RESULTS of MARLIT will be: -the production a large database gathering detailed local information about storm impacts, using INNOVATIVE monitoring and modelling technologies -a NEW capitalization on historical storm events to support protection, monitoring and prediction actions led by public administrations -an UNPRECEDENTED evaluation of the future evolution of coastal risks at the local scale -the identification and assessment of INNOVATIVE mitigation countermeasures to reduce the onshore impact of ocean storms.
