Rewilding European Shorelines and Beyond

We promote the adaptation of the innovative conservation approach of 'rewilding' as a nature-based solution to restore Europe's intertidal areas.

Where We Work

The REWRITE project's 10 demonstrators cover a range of climates and represent important coastal areas worldwide.
They help us study how climate and human activity affect intertidal soft sediment (ISS) seascapes, enhancing our understanding of these ecosystems and their response to environmental changes.
