(21) A variety of measures under different policies apply in coastal zones. In order to achieve the objectives of this Directive, Member States should prepare an inventory of these measures and analyse the need for additional actions, such as actions to prevent erosion and manage accretion, restore coastal ecosystems, adapt to the effects of climate change, combat coastal and marine litter, develop green infrastructure and help prevent natural disasters. These should be applied in a coordinated and integrated way. In doing this, Member States should consider all relevant coastal activities and pay particular attention to cross-sectoral and land-sea interactions between these activities.
