The ZKO programme focuses on strengthening the understanding and knowledge of coastal development, the role of cycles and particle flows in relation to water quality, capacity for a sustainable yield of the ecosystem, change in the biodiversity, the role of the sea and ocean in climate change and the effects of climate change on the marine system. This understanding must provide the basis for possible predictions. The ZKO wants to facilitate the cooperation between different research institutes in this area.
