DAnube WETlands RESToration (DaWetRest) aims to develop and demonstrate concrete solutions applied on the Danube and Black Sea to address the challenges faced within inland and coastal wetland ecosystems.
These transformative and innovative solutions will be validated by local communities and main Regional and European-wide stakeholders.
This process is divided into three phases:
1
Develop and demonstrate concrete solutions applied on the Danube basin
2
Validate the solutions by the local communities and European-wide stakeholders
3
Prepare and plan to replicate, deploy and scale up the solutions
