Sednet Conference 2021 Sednet William coulet (exo environmental) gives a presentation on nature based solution: saltmarsh at the 2021 online sednet webinar conference. We explore both ecological protection imperatives and practical experiences, highlighting the critical role of sediments and sediment management in the effective and sustainable delivery of nature based solutions. saltmarsh has a critical coastal defence function; wave attenuation.
Sednet European Sediment Network This introductory chapter provides information on the complexity of the saltmarsh system, the drivers for saltmarsh habitat restoration, and what it means to restore system resilience in such a way as to ensure maximum benefit and longevity of restoration schemes. The partnership for the delaware estuary created the wetland assessment tool for condition and health (watch) to guide restoration practitioners in evaluating multiple aspects of current and future tidal salt marsh conditions and inform potential restoration alternatives. Multiple sarcc videos will be released across the three years of the project. these will include introduction videos to each partner, pilot updates, factual information videos and project overview videos. for captions and subtitle translations, click on the [cc] that appears when a video is played. Restoration is incentivised by the promise that marshes are efficient storers of ‘blue’ carbon, although the claim lacks substantiation across global contexts. we synthesised data from 431 studies to quantify the benefits of saltmarsh restoration to carbon accumulation and greenhouse gas uptake.

From 2014 to 2020, refuge staff and partners conducted a series of pilot studies to determine if nature based restoration techniques could restore the natural function of the marsh. in 2021, refuge staff combined the most effective strategies to restore 100 acres of salt marsh on the refuge. Nature based solutions and blue carbon habitats. the restoration of existing saltmarsh habitats is key to our race to net zero and fighting the climate crisis, alongside ambitious saltmarsh creation. Sea level rise threatens marsh survival by blocking landward migration where coastlines have been developed. research informed saltmarsh conservation and restoration efforts are helping to prevent further loss, yet significant knowledge gaps remain. Lessons learned and shared through this faster and more flexible forum will inform the design, implementation, and monitoring of restoration projects across the region and improve overall marsh.
