DIGITAL SUMMIT
From river to coast – Collaboration to restore coastal and rural areas
Participatory approaches to map and model system dynamics can help to create mutual understanding of appropriate collective action for ecosystem restoration initiatives. But in contexts with active resource or value system conflicts, this can be a challenging task.
Join us for this Digital Summit, which will address the potential benefits, limitations and challenges of participatory modelling as a methodology to co-create scenarios promoting coastal-rural synergies.
In particular, three examples of ongoing projects in Spain, India and Portugal will be presented: 1) the Mar Menor coastal lagoon and its contributing catchment area, as part of the COASTAL project; 2) the Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon and Lower Vouga River Natura2000 sites; and 3) A project with farmers about groundwater management in India.
