The majority of the research presented in this Special Publication arises from the Land-Ocean Evolution Perspective Study (LOEPS), one component of the Land-Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS), Phase 1 of which ended in 1998. It is therefore appropriate to introduce this research in the context of LOIS as a whole before summarizing the main conclusions relating to LOEPS. The Land-Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS), was a seven-year Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded Community Research Project (CRP). The detailed planning for LOIS began in 1990 and continued into 1991 as a series of workshops, which laid the foundations for the LOIS Science Plan (1992). The LOIS CRP was conceived as a collaborative multidisciplinary study to be undertaken by UK scientists from NERC institutions and the higher education institutes (HEI). The coastal zone was to be studied in an integrated way, to provide a holistic view of the way coastal systems work and to demonstrate how they might respond to future changes resulting from human activities. It was also anticipated that LOIS research would interface with other contemporary NERC CRPs, including the North Sea Project (see e.g. Charnock et al. 1994), the Biogeochemical Ocean Flux Study (see, e.g. introduction in Savidge et al. 1992), and the Terrestrial Initiative in Global Environmental Research (see e.g. Oliver et al. 1999). he objectives of LOIS were set out in the science plan (LOIS Science Plan 1992) and then in revised form in the implementation plan (LOIS Implementation Plan 1994).
