Salt marshes Wadden Sea

Salt marshes are more and more recognized as a Nature-based Solution to reduce flood risk. Many initiatives are undertaken to employ salt marshes for flood risk management, which often do not align with priorities set for nature conservation. The challenge is how to deal with the different services provided by salt marshes, and develop a collective approach that helps individual initiatives. Working principles will be translated into tools and instruments that will be used in other projects in the Netherlands and abroad. This project will enable collaborative and integrated assessment of salt marshes as NbS, reasoning from a systems perspective.
