New Virtual Exhibition: “Once Upon a Dune: Coastal (Hi)Stories”

The exhibition collects a multitude of views on coastal issues and the importance of taking this diversity into account when managing for the future—because beaches are made up of sea and sand, but also of people’s expectations and choices. Explore the exhibition here.
