CASCADE – Interreg Italy-Croatia

CASCADE (CoAStal and marine waters integrated monitoring systems for ecosystems proteCtion AnD managemEnt) is an INTERREG (Italy-Croatia) project

AIMED AT: developing concerted and coordinated monitoring, modelling and management actions, enhancing the knowledge and at evaluating the quality and vulnerability of inland, coastal and marine ecosystems in Italy and Croatia. Such general goal should support the restoration of endangered species and the integrated management of coastal areas in the Adriatic.

The integrated modelling and observing systems will be developed to design and implement MSP/LSI/ICZM, management and restoration actions in 11 pilot areas. Pilot actions will assess and protect coastal and marine biodiversity in degraded areas, set up restoration actions, assess the impacts of extreme events on ecosystems and understand how to avoid conflicts and boost synergies in the areas. The project will consolidate long-lasting research capabilities in the field through a concrete dialogue with stakeholders and the participation of Agencies, research centres and universities in order to enhance inland, coastal and marine knowledge. Such shared information and monitoring protocols are essential for supporting concrete actions dealing with environmental vulnerability, fragmentation and safeguarding of ecosystem services at cross-border level.
