Explores biodiversity's role in coastal protection, suggesting essential ecosystem restoration for safety.
Biodiversity as infrastructure for coastal protection Dries Bonte from Ghent University informs us about biodiversity as a means of infrastructure for coastal protection, highlighting the DuneFront Horizon Europe project. Europe’s Nature Restoration Law and Floods Directive demand solutions that reduce risk while restoring ecosystems. DuneFront is translating evidence from 12 dune-dike demonstrators into boundary-condition intelligence, ratings, and digital twins so hybrid nature-based coastal protection becomes both regulatable and investable.
