This Portal will include information on innovative mitigation and adaptation technologies for coastal zones subject to multiple change factors. Technologies under consideration are:
- ecologically-based mitigation measures (such as restoration and/or creation of habitats)
- hydro-morphodynamic techniques (such as wave energy converters, sediments reservoirs, multi-purpose structures, overtop resistant dikes)
- actions to reduce the impact on society and economy (such as promotion of risk awareness or spatial planning)
- GIS-based software to support defence planning.
THESEUS will develop a systematic approach to delivering a low-risk coast for human use and healthy habitats. Activities will be carried out using 8 study sites across Europe.
