Launched at the 8th EMB Forum by Heidrun Kopp (Chair of the EMB Working Group on Geohazards), the new EMB Position Paper Nº 26 “Marine Geohazards: Safeguarding Society and the Blue Economy from a Hidden Threat” aims to put marine geohazards on the agenda of policy and research. It does so by presenting an overview of the type, distribution and impact of marine geohazards in European coastal regions and on several Blue Economy sectors. It highlights novel scientific approaches that broaden our understanding of their processes, trigger mechanisms and precursors. The document points towards relevant actions that would ensure the development of effective risk-mitigation and science-based management practices and policies, thereby contributing to protect coastal population and economic activities at sea.

This publication can be downloaded from our website and a news release can be found here. A fact sheet (one page summary with the recommendations) for this publication is also available here. EMB would like to thank the EMB WG Marine Geohazards chairs and co-authors, contributors and reviewers for their dedication, input and support in creating this document.
We would be very grateful if you could disseminate the Position Paper widely within your networks and promote the publication on your websites / twitter feeds, or interact with the EMB Twitter account (@EMarineBoard).

Please contact the EMB Secretariat at info@marineboard.eu to request hard copies of the publication, to note relevant dissemination opportunities, or to propose other relevant communication activities (e.g. presentations, journal papers etc.).
