Flagship Training Project
Adaptation to climate change through management and restoration of European
Contributing to the maintenance and restoration of the European estuarine ecosystems
LIFE ADAPTA BLUES is a project coordinated by IHCantabria and co-funded by the European Union LIFE program which is developed in three European regions: Coimbra (Portugal), Cantabria (Spain) and Zeeland (The Netherlands).
Challenge
European estuarine ecosystems are under increasing pressure due to the intense economic and urban development of coastal areas and the associated population high density. Therefore, they are particularly vulnerable to the impact of climate change.
Solution
Raising awareness in the population about the role of conservation and restoration of the estuarine ecosystems as a necessary measure to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change in the NE Atlantic coastal areas at the same time as improving our cultural heritage.
Results
Generation and implementation of a training line (micro-credential) consisting of 3 online courses intended for students with different profiles (MOOC courses), 136 students have been trained on the role of estuaries in the provision of protection services to coastal population against climate change.
