They presented their progress and action plans for the second phase of implementation, which is now beginning. Analysis of carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in European coastal wetlands; prioritization of sites and measures for restoring these ecosystems to promote their role as carbon sinks; assessment of the social acceptability of these initiatives, as well as the development of a European community of practice on these issues: the topics were numerous and highlighted the importance of a collaborative approach.<\/p>\n<p>The third day was devoted to field visits. Participants had the opportunity to discover the richness of Camargue ecosystems by visiting one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore4cs.eu\/\">RESTORE4Cs<\/a> sampling sites in the Rh\u00f4ne Delta: the Marais du Cassa\u00efre, a Conservatoire du Littoral site managed by the association Les Amis des Marais du Vigueirat and including a wetland restored since 2009.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>RESTORE4Cs : European coordination for wetlands<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44580\"  class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44580\" src=\"https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-640x480.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20-120x90.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>The Marais du Cassa\u00efre<\/span> \u00a9 Madeira Scauri | LifeWatch ERIC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore4cs.eu\/\"> RESTORE4Cs<\/a> project has an ambitious objective: to provide better information on the role of European coastal wetlands in mitigating the effects of climate change, through carbon and GHG sequestration, in order to advocate for more effective management and restoration of these environments. In particular, the project aims to assess the benefits of coastal wetland conservation and restoration actions in the fight against climate change, while highlighting the other co-benefits generated by these same measures, for example in terms of maintaining biodiversity and regulating the water cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore4cs.eu\/\">RESTORE4Cs<\/a> project aims to develop a Toolbox for European coastal wetlands: conceived as a digital decision-making tool, it will support public authorities, managers and associations in prioritizing sites and actions to be taken. The aim is to preserve and restore these ecosystems, and thus optimize the services they provide to society in the fight against climate change. With this in mind, an educational \u201cSerious Game\u201d and a Summer School for decision-makers and the scientific community will be held in 2025. Among other things, these events will promote the various products and services developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore4cs.eu\/\">RESTORE4Cs<\/a>, in particular the Online Platform and Toolbox for decision making.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44582\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44582 size-blog-small\" src=\"https:\/\/tourduvalat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241120_Restore4Cs@ArseneMarquis-TdV-1_web-640x395.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"395\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>RESTORE4Cs 5th General Assembly<\/span> \u00a9 Ars\u00e8ne Marquis - Tour du Valat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5th General Assembly of the RESTORE4Cs project was held at the Tour du Valat from November 19 to 21.
