Introduction
	As part of its objectives, EUROSION has produced a GIS database at scale 1:100,000 meant to provide baseline information on the different factors influencing coastal erosion processes and the value of assets at risk. The full GIS database is now part of the Geographical Information System of the European Commission (GISCO) and has to be requested directly to EUROSTAT. However, and in order to give a higher visibility to the data collected, some information extracted from the database can be found in this section. It is made of two parts: A quick start to the database, which includes an extensive description of the data layers available, quality and accessibility information, as well as screenshots. Most of the data layers of information are freely accessible and may be downloadable from the European Environment Agency website.
