Sustainable Development of Coastal Zones Current Situation in Russia The Russian Federation has the longest coastline in the world: km Legislation does not define the coastal zone as an integral object of management, the ecosystem as a whole is likely to be damaged by its many users Global sea level rise and coastal erosion results in the loss of valuable coastal land and the infrastructure associated with it. 41% of Russia’s coastline suffers from erosion. Intensification of anthropogenic impact on coastal areas (oil and gas industry, recreation) and enhancement of economical damage from natural and man-induced hazards Absence of special environmental education in classical universities 18

New MSc Programs Moscow State University (since 2007): 1.Oceanography of Shelf Zones 2.Sustainable Development of Coastal Zone 19
