sediment transport flowing from riverbeds (estimate of affected volumes, options and

methodologies for the reuse of partially contaminated material, management of deposits found in artificial reserves, protection

of compatible soil, monitoring and control methods for the sedimentary cycle...)

Measure 2.4: Natural

Defense Systems

Potential for costal protection provided by Posidonia and dunes (methodology for the

mapping and identification of seed plant grasslands, methods for artificial replanting

and recovery of seed plant grasslands, naturalisation or reconstruction methods for dune systems including scenarios occurring

within an infrastructure...)
