Lancewad aims at

- Making an inventory of the landscape and cultural heritage of the Wadden Sea Region.

- Evaluating and assessing the qualities of the landscape and the heritage.

- Developing proposals for sustainable management and use of the heritage.

By mapping the heritage, the project will focus on those elements and structures which are considered to be of international importance. These are for example mounds, sluices, mills, dikes, lighthouses and  embankments which are symbols of the interaction of Man with nature. But also villages, towns as well as important buildings and historical sites will be mapped to reflect other aspects of the common heritage.

The project will attempt to develop methods on how to manage and use the heritage in the future. This will include proposals on how the heritage can be addressed in physical planning, and how cultural tourism can be developed.
