The WaterLANDS project aims to address the ongoing decline of wetlands by developing best practices and laying the foundations to upscale restoration across Europe. Wetlands are vital ecosystems, offering services such as water purification, carbon storage, flood attenuation, and biodiversity...

The Blue Carbon Roadmap for EU Member States outlines a framework to enhance the mapping, monitoring, and management of coastal wetland ecosystems-such as seagrasses, tidal marshes, and mangroves-across the European Union (EU). This roadmap aims to guide policymakers, stakeholders, and the...

This workshop was organized by Trinomics, Ricardo and Blue Carbon Lab in context of "Studies in Support to the Implementation of the Mission: 'Wetlands and Blue Carbon'" for CINEA (CINEA/2023/OP/0005). The aim was to test, validate and complement the current findings. The workshop was organized...

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass beds, are vital for climate change mitigation, sequestering carbon at rates much higher than terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, BCEs are increasingly threatened by both natural and human-induced...

In the western coast of Sardinia, the Gulf of Oristano hosts a dense system of rivers, lagoons and salt marshes. an essential ecosystem for mitigating global warming and providing resilience against sea level rise, flooding events, storms and extreme precipitation. To effectively fulfil their...

Despite the recognized role of wetlands in providing ecological benefits for human wellbeing, ∼70% of global wetland ecosystems have been destroyed since the 1990s. Further intensive studies revealed that 3.4 million km2 of natural wetland has declined since 1700. In particular, wetland...

Purpose - Coastal zone ecological restoration project is of great significance to alleviate marine ecological degradation. Evaluating the effect of coastal ecological restoration projects and identifying the obstacle factors affecting their restoration level can provide an empirical basis for...

Monitoring wetlands of Kenya is critical for analysis of environmental changes since they present unique ecosystems with special hydrological balance and biodiversity. In this study, the Landsat 8-9 OLI/TIRS satellite images for 2015-2022 were classified using GRASS GIS scripts to evaluate...
