Exploring strategic linkages and future collaboration opportunities
Join us in Lancaster for a free to attend 1 day event filled with presentations and workshop sessions on coastal habitat restoration and creation in the North West. Meet other people involved in coastal habitat work and learn more about the coastal restoration taking place along the North West coast. Our presentations will look at coastal habitat restoration and creation at local and national scale, as well as current management strategies. Our workshop sessions will explore the current and future landscape of coastal habitat work here in the North West, focusing on linkages and gaps, barriers to delivery, priorities and ambitions for future work and future collaboration opportunities.
