PACCo in numbers! 🔢

As they head towards completion, here's a snapshot of what PACCo has achieved across our two sites, the #LowerOtterRestorationProject in Devon, and #BasseSaane2050 project in Normandy.

Environmental monitoring & evaluation are essential to #climateadaptation schemes. They shape design & delivery & ensure impacts are positive, well managed & maintained. Check out chapter 9 of the #PACCoGuide for an overview of monitoring methods & tools: https://t.co/smOZeijVLz

Effective #climateadaptation must consider the #socioeconomic impacts of changing coasts 🏖️🌊
Find how to ensure effective engagement, and socioeconomic benefits in restoration and adaptation schemes in Chapter 3 of the PACCo Guide here 📘 - https://t.co/smOZeijVLz

Take a look at this excellent summary video on the PACCo project and its purpose from @floodandcoast 2023, where PACCo was recognised as "The first European adaptation project of this scale…enhancing ecosystem services and bringing socioeconomic benefits to two focus sites.”

Sorry about the poor photos

@robinmmorrison @WiseBirding Thanks Robin! The project aims to provide a haven for wildlife, especially birds. In the coming years and as the site matures, we expect to see many different species using the site, including a wide variety of breeding and over wintering birds.

🏆🌊 Thrilled to share that #PACCo was presented with the #ClimateResilientInfrastructure Award at yesterday's #FloodandCoast2023 Excellence Awards!

Thank you to all our partners, funders, contractors, and supporters, who made PACCo possible, and a huge well done to the team 👏

Day 2 of #FloodandCoast2023 🌊 has delivered a host of fascinating seminars, including from PACCo's senior project manager, Lydia Burgess-Gamble, who took to the stage to share her insights on the project, #climateadaptation and the incredible potential of #naturebasedsolutions

New article - @PACCoInterreg publishes its guide to successful climate adaptation.

The project has developed an internationally replicable model, which it estimates 70 estuarine sties in northern France and southern England alone could benefit from

As part of #WorldEnvironmentDay2023, we're reflecting on PACCo's journey, the power of #wetlands and #habitatrestoration, and why we need #climateadaptation projects if we are to safeguard the future of our #environment and all that depend on it.

Interested in learning about the benefits of #NaturalCapital and how to use these approaches in your own climate adaptation projects? Then we've got you covered! Chapter 5 of the #PACCoGuide on ‘Funding and Natural Capital’ contains all you need to know: https://t.co/smOZeijVLz

[PACCo.Interreg @PACCoInterreg]

By increasing implementation of #climateadaptation & #restorationprojects like PACCo, restoring our planet’s vital #ecosystems & preserving wetland biodiversity, we contribute to the protection of our coasts & the incredible 40% of all plants & wildlife that call them home 💧💙

[PACCo.Interreg @PACCoInterreg]

Today is #InternationalBiodiversityDay.
Every day natural habitat & #biodiversity loss grows, including wetlands, which house a rich variety of fauna & flora & play a crucial role in #coastalresilience. In fact, approx ¼ of #wetland species are at risk of extinction 🐟🪱🦆🌿 ⬇️
