Ecological continuity in littoral wetlands, a local, national and European issue - n° 41
Questions concerning littoral wetlands are being raised during a time of transition impacted by both natural phenomena (e.g. the infl uence of climate change on littoral wetlands) and institutional changes with the launch of the regional ecological-continuity plans (SRCE) in the various regions, the NOTRe 1 and MAPTAM 2 laws, the creation of the French biodiversity agency, etc. In this highly fl uid context, the objective is to produce a joint project for the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Channel/North Sea coasts, based on a shared vision of the issues.
A symposium titled “Ecological continuity in littoral wetlands” was held on 24-25 March 2016 in Montpellier.
Discussion sessions and workshops made up a major part of the event in which approximately 100 people participated.
La continuité écologique dans les zones humides littorales : un enjeu local, national et européen - n°41 | Meetings | November 2016
Les zones humides littorales représentent le tiers des zones humides de France métropolitaine, soit 800 000 ha pour les marais Atlantique, Manche et Mer du Nord et 130 000 ha pour les lagunes méditerranéennes. Toutes ont un rôle déterminant en matière de continuité écologique, au croisement de la trame verte et bleue (TVB).
