Overcoming the barriers to upscale coastal restoration

This open access book combines real-world pilot insights with cutting-edge tools for nature-based coastal solutions. Coastal systems are experiencing an increasing risk due to climatic and human pressures. Recent advances from European Union Green deal projects such as REST-COAST have shown the value of coastal restoration and the delivery of ecosystem services to reduce risk levels from short to long-term. The combination of hands-on restoration, techniques for restoration upscaling, financial and business plans to support that upscaling and the associated coastal adaptation using adaptation pathways form a knowledge nexus that can support practitioners, decision makers, policy makers and researchers from all the fields that converge in a sustainable coastal protection.
