This project will provide science-based guidance for post COVID recovery of coastal communities through a trans-national comparative study across coastal areas in Costa Rica, Germany, Scotland (UK), and the USA. Coastal regions are important because they are typically densely populated and have a significant contribution to the economy, often referred to as Blue Economy. Coastal regions experienced significant drops in numbers of tourists and economic losses for other industries, which all impacted coastal communities. Impacts, responses and their consequences on vulnerabilities and equity in coastal communities, and potential for recovery, are so far under-studied.Despite the slim knowledge base, governments are determining how recovery can be socially inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Through our five objectives, we will understand: (1) the socio-economic impacts brought by both COVID-19 and the implemented response measures such as movement restrictions, (2) preferred short-term and long-term COVID-19 recovery strategies for each sector of the Blue Economy, (3) the main barriers to coastal green and inclusive recovery policies and programs, (4) elements of resilience in the recovery strategies that could successfully contribute to a sustainable and inclusive development, benchmarked against the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement and (5) lessons and best practices transferrable across risks and locations to efficiently respond to/prevent future crises. This will be achieved by using multi-method approaches, including large-scale surveys with coastal regional authorities and businesses, discrete choice experiments to value future recovery scenarios, focus groups, and expert interviews. We will determine key enabling factors across all regions that lead to response performance so as to inform the development of future strategies for a green and inclusive coastal recovery. We will facilitate meaningful interactions between the academic institutions, partners, and key stakeholders in each country to exchange information on experiences in addressing the consequences of the pandemic and ways forward.

该项目将通过对哥斯达黎加、德国、苏格兰（英国）和美国沿海地区的跨国比较研究，为沿海社区的COVID后恢复提供基于科学的指导。沿海地区非常重要，因为它们通常人口稠密，对经济有重大贡献，通常被称为蓝色经济。沿海地区的游客人数大幅下降，其他行业遭受经济损失，所有这些都影响到沿海社区。影响、应对措施及其对沿海社区的脆弱性和公平性的后果以及恢复潜力迄今尚未得到充分研究，尽管知识基础薄弱，但各国政府正在确定如何使恢复具有社会包容性、可持续性和复原力。通过我们的五个目标，我们将了解：（1）COVID-19和已实施的应对措施（如行动限制）带来的社会经济影响，（2）蓝色经济各部门首选的短期和长期COVID-19复苏策略，（3）沿海绿色和包容性复苏政策和计划的主要障碍，（4）恢复战略中的复原力要素，这些要素可以成功地促进可持续和包容性发展，以可持续发展目标和巴黎协定为基准;（5）可跨风险和地点转移的经验教训和最佳做法，以有效应对/预防未来危机。这将通过使用多种方法来实现，包括与沿海地区当局和企业的大规模调查，评估未来恢复情景的离散选择实验，焦点小组和专家访谈。我们将确定所有区域影响响应绩效的关键有利因素，以便为制定未来的绿色和包容性沿海恢复战略提供信息。我们将促进各国学术机构、合作伙伴和主要利益攸关方之间进行有意义的互动，交流应对疫情后果的经验和前进方向。
