Project description

Slide 1

The aim of ‘WAD was – WAD can we do?’ is to develop a trilateral sediment action plan for the land-sea transition zone. The trilateral action plan pools existing research results on sediment dynamics and coastal adaptation measures and at the same time explores their social legitimacy. Results will be utilised in the form of potential interventions for local, national and trilateral decision-makers.

Slide 1

To this end, WADWAD forms a transdisciplinary think tank of experts from various scientific disciplines and integrates existing knowledge through data mining. In addition, a nature point-based assessment of the sediment situation in the Wadden Sea (past, status quo and future) will be carried out. In combination with a social cost-benefit analysis, it is intended to estimate the added value of potential policy measures for the Wadden Sea ecosystem.

Slide 1

As an orientation for the legitimisation of the trilateral action plan, an assessment of the awareness of local citizens and the potential acceptance of ecosystem-based coastal adaptation measures will be carried out.
