  The iCoast project will conduct evidentiary analysis in Sri Lanka
and Kenya of the social, cultural, political, economic and
environmental barriers to CCD implementation at the coastal
zone; develop cost-curves of applying CCD to the coastal zone
using newly tested benefit transfer methodologies; map the fiscal
and regulatory mechanisms necessary to achieve CCD in the
coastal zone of Kenya and Sri Lanka under different market
scenarios; and map the value of coastal landscapes and their
potential to support CCD in the coastal zone highlighting priority
areas for attention in the short, medium and long-term national
strategies.
