Social Learning for ICZM or 'Prejudice, Dogma and Spurious Common Sense'?
This paper discusses research exploring the ideas of successful social learning within a European Union-funded project on Science and Policy Integration for Coastal Zone Management (the SPICOSA Project). The aim of this paper is to identify a series of practical lessons as well as emerging challenges with regards to facilitating social learning for integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). It outlines methods by which social learning has been evaluated within a large interdisciplinary project. The paper seeks to promote social learning as a vehicle which can provide more useful insights — and results in `better' choices — through the development of newer and more profound insights into solutions for addressing the challenges of coastal management. The absence of such collaborative learning processes can open the door to `prejudice, dogma and spurious common sense'.

A New Global Coastal Database for Impact and Vulnerability Analysis to Sea-Level Rise
A new global coastal database has been developed within the context of the DINAS-COAST project. The database covers the world's coasts, excluding Antarctica, and includes information on more than 80 physical, ecological, and socioeconomic parameters of the coastal zone. The database provides the base data for the Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment modelling tool that the DINAS-COAST project has produced. In order to comply with the requirements of the modelling tool, it is based on a data model in which all information is referenced to more than 12,000 linear coastal segments of variable length. For efficiency of data storage, six other geographic features (administrative units, countries, rivers, tidal basins or estuaries, world heritage sites, and climate grid cells) are used to reference some data, but all are linked to the linear segment structure. This fundamental linear data structure is unique for a global database and represents an efficient solution to the problem of representing and storing coastal data. The database has been specifically designed to support impact and vulnerability analysis to sea-level rise at a range of scales up to global. Due to the structure, consistency, user-friendliness, and wealth of information in the database, it has potential wider application to analysis and modelling of the world's coasts, especially at regional to global scales
