Datum: 05. - 09. Juli 2016
Webseite: https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/conferences/estuarine-restoration/practical-info...
Ort: Antwerpen, BELGIUM
Beschreibung: For centuries, estuaries have been impacted by habitat reclamation, pollution, hydrological alterations and dredging among many other human uses leading to a large loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. It is only recently that estuarine restoration became a hot topic and now many restoration projects are implemented worldwide.

The University of Antwerp (together with other local partners, universities and institutes) is organising an ECSA Local Meeting on estuarine restoration. The aim of the meeting is to bring together scientists and practitioners from all over the world to exchange ideas and discuss the field of estuarine restoration.

Major topics dealt with during the conference are:

  • Setting the objectives of restoration
  • What measure is fit for which objective?
  • Evaluation of restoration measures: are the objectives achieved?
  • Ecosystem services: a driving force for future restoration?
  • Planning for estuarine restoration
  • The role of environmental legislation as a driver for restoration

The conference will bring together both scientists and practitioners and result in new insights in the important field of estuarine restoration and lead to guidelines and concepts for further estuarine restoration projects.
