\"\"<\/p>\n

Future Earth Coasts (FEC) is a global network of coastal scientists and practitioners from all disciplines of the natural and social sciences, engineering, law and the humanities, who are dedicated to the sustainable development of coastal zones on all continents.<\/p>\n

FEC was first established in 1993 as the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ), a core project of the International Geosphere and Biosphere Programme (IGBP). In 2015, LOICZ was re-titled as Future Earth Coasts in recognition of its transition into the newly formed Future Earth programme, and further extended its remit to explore options to identify sustainability pathways for anthropogenically altered and changing coasts (https:\/\/www.futureearthcoasts.org\/). Since 2019, East China Normal University (ECNU) and Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly established the International Project Office (IPO)-China, as one of its globally distributed IPOs located in China, Ghana, Mexico, the US and Australia. From January 2022, IPO-China has become the co-lead IPO of FEC together with Southern Cross University, Australia.<\/p>\n
