Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1992-12-10 Abstract The coast is a very important aspect of life in the Netherlands. 60 % of the Netherlands is below the sea level, everyone lives less than 200 km from a beach, and for most people the sea is less than 50 km away. But in the Netherlands there is officially no Agency for Coastal Zone Management, neither are there laws on Coastal Zone Management. On a first impression this sounds very strange. Of course it is not so strange, knowing the situation in the Netherlands. Because nearly everything in the Netherlands is related to the sea, an Agency for Coastal Zone Management should be involved in nearly all major decisions in the Netherlands. Of course, we have such an agency. It is the council of ministers. And indeed, in fact all matters regarding Coastal Zone Management are decided on a cabinet level.
