by NEWS

The REST-COAST project has published a new study titled “Trade-offs and synergies in river-coastal restoration for the Ebro case (Spanish Mediterranean)”, featured in the journal Nature Conservation as part of the project’s open-access collection Restoration of Wetlands.

This study addresses the challenges of sediment transport and connectivity in the river–delta–coast continuum of the Ebro Delta. It evaluates potential strategies, underlying causes, and impacts, contributing to the sustainable restoration of river-coastal systems.
