Context:Neither Sicily nor Malta at present have strategies for the management of their beaches, therefore, the proposed project represents a pilot action in the improvement of the management of the selected beaches and the strategy of management in both countries. The management of beaches is a relatively new discipline within the broader goal of integrated management of coastal, and the project provides an opportunity for partners to fill a leadership role in the development of this system. Aims: The project intends to pursue the following main objectives: Valuing the coastal heritage, particularly the beaches, Ragusa and Malta; Creating joint strategies regarding the management and promotion of tourism products between the two coasts. Expected Results: • Cooperazione e scambio di esperienze nel campo del patrimonio costiero• Censimento delle spiagge di Malta e di Ragusa• Definizione di Piani per la gestione sostenibile delle spiagge maltesi e ragusane di particolare interesse ambientale• Costruzione di un database ed elaborazione congiunta di un GIS (Sistema Geografico Informatico).
