The coastal zone ... Most people live here. Provides a large variety of services and goods (e.g., fisheries, energy, aesthetic pleasure) Is continuously changed by man.

The coastal zone ... Needs to be managed. Management needs a scientific basis. A variety of different perceptions of the coast prevail within society and need to be be balanced. Natural and social/cultural sciences needed for guiding the process of exploiting the full potential of the coastal zone in future economies and societies.

DPSIR framework Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response as derived from OECD and European Environmental Agency;

Coastal research should be designed to assist the public in gaining an understanding of the phenomena and perspectives. This task needs: Interpretive analysis of risks Presentation of scientific concepts and notions in a cultural and social context. For accomplishing these needs, cooperation between natural scientists and social and cultural scientists is urgently required.

For a long time, the „market of knowledge“ was dominated by science, specifically by natural science. Today various forms of knowledge claims are competing on this market. This is in particular so with respect to knowledge about the environment, which is widely used to support various normative views of different stake holders.

Competing knowledge forms are Pre-scientific and outdated, or discredited, scientific knowledge. Reinterpreted knowledge (media), resulting from a selection and metamorphosis of scientific knowledge for public information. Science specifically designed to represent vested interests. Ideological, religious and ethical knowledge. Everyday knowledge. Traditional (indigenous) knowledge.

manageable Natural science „The coast can be computed and is manageable.“ manageable

Voss, pers. comm.

endagered Environmentalists „Man is destroying nature.“ Der Mensch zerstört die Küste

unadulterated Health industry / tourism „The coast is natural. Its purity and originality makes it a place for relaxation, mental and bodily recovery.“ unadulterated

externally controlled Local interests externally controlled „Locals know what is best for their region. They don‘t need governmental regulations.“

threatening Coastal safety „Nature needs to be controlled to ensure safety.“

The different forms of knowledge claims compete in daily conversations and the public discourse. For a knowledge claim to „win“ on the knowledge market, it must allow for practical implementation. Also, it must be plausible, i.e. be consistent with traditional knowledge. Natural science knowledge often lacks both characteristics (applicability, plausibility), because this type of knowledge is disaggregated without allowing an overall assessment of a problem and its solution. The integration of different knowledge aspects is needed.
