Portal:THESEUS/Intro

This Portal, embedded in the Coastal and Marine Wiki, includes 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. A catalogue listing relvant datasets availble at the 8 studysites is availble at
