Dragør Coast

Due to the partial protection of dikes along the Dragør coast, salt marshes are not able to develop sufficiently to match sea-level rise. The salt marshes are part of a Natura 2000 area, and are threatened by climate change. The understanding of the effect of traditional coastal protection on nature areas is very limited, which inhibits the implementation of sustainable coastal protection schemes. The goal is to improve (knowledge on) Natura 2000 areas, while decreasing the risk of flooding. Courses will be given to municipalities, authorities, and citizens to build support for new measures and mainstream Nature-based Solutions.
