Abstract: | Mediterranean coastal environemnts are subject ot increasing pressures of urbanization, pollution and exploitation of natural resources. The origin of many such pressues is inland: rivers are generally the main vehicles of stress factors such as floods, sediment and waste. From the sea, there is the threat of increasing sea level. As a consequence, coastal environments are increasingly squeezed between land and sea. The WADI project "Sustainable management of Mediterranean coastal fresh and transitional water bodies: a socio-economic and environmental analysis of changes and trends to enhance and sustain stakeholder benefits" had the objective of encouraging a rational and sustainable use of freshwater resources in Mediterranean coastal areas experiencing freshwater scarcity, through participatory approaches. This volume collects a number of origianl papers presented by WADI researchers at the International Conference held at the end of the project in November 2008. |
