There are eight case regions across six European seas:
- The Aveiro lagoon on the central Portuguese coast (Atlantic Ocean)
- The North-east Aegean Sea and Malta (Mediterranean Sea)
- Scotland, Ireland & Northern Ireland (Atlantic Ocean/Irish Sea)
- The Wadden Sea
- South-west coast of Estonia and inshore coastal Denmark and Danish islands (Baltic Sea)
- Brittany (Atlantic Ocean)
Activities in case regions are conducted in demonstrator projects (‘demos’)
- 29 demos on a diverse range of CH challenges and opportunities
- Each demo is focused on a specific theme or issue
- Some demos are geographically broad, across a whole case study region – others explore particular CH issues
The demos seek to:
- Record and understand CH at present and historically
- Test novel analytic and practical approaches related to CH preservation and exploitation
- Bring together a range of stakeholders to develop in-depth research and disseminate activities and outputs
A number of key approaches tools or methods will be broadly applied across the demos
This helps to enable cross-regional outputs and impacts
