- Synthesize current knowledge on sustainable management of coastal ecosystems, as estuaries, coastal lagoons, salt marshes and shorelines;
- Promote the exchange of ideas about the economic value of coastal ecosystems;
- Demonstrate the use of mathematical modeling as a valuable tool for ecosystem management.

The programme of the conference will consist of oral and poster presentations. Authors wishing to present a contribution are asked to send a two-A4-page abstract (1400 words).
