Responsibilitiy The Municipalities i Sweden have full responsibility to protect the coastal area when it comes to coastal erosion and flooding. We have a yearly budget of 2 million SEK (200 000 EUR) for investments and 2,1 million SEK (210 000 EUR) for maintenance, permit applications and environmental supervision. It is possible to apply for a government grant for preventive measures against landslides, mass movements and erosion. However this only applies to rivers and lakes, not the ocean. The municipality has, since the 1990 s, spent about 70 million SEK (7 million EUR) on coastal protection measures.
Legal issues To implement e.g. beach nourishment, a permit is required under two different laws which, to some extent, counteract each other. 2001, Ystad received its first permit according to the Environmental Code for beach nourishment. However the application was rejected according to the Continental Shelf Act. Ten years of hard work and negotiations led to a permit according to the Continental Shelf Act in 2011. With every permit, a strict plan for environmental control follows To implement any protection measure, the County Administrative Board must be informed and they need to approve the measure. Sometimes, different departments of the County Administrative Board make different decisions on the same issue.
