DESCRIPTION

This tool is a guide for the sustainable management of Posidonia banquettes, with a management approach focused on integrated coastal ecosystem conservation, taking into account how management practices impact the overall ecosystem health and coastal resilience. 

These Guidelines include a Governance Strategy and Action Plan to address these challenges, by providing:

• An update to the existing perceptions by different stakeholders and the existing policy framework for the management of Posidonia banquettes
• A Guide on existing methods and tools for the sustainable use of seagrass banquettes and associated dune systems; and
• An action framework for the Mediterranean and a locally oriented toolkit with recommendations for the sound management of Posidonia and dune systems

This tool has been developed and/or tested under the POSBEMED project and has been incorporated into the MBPC/ENSERES Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Tools Catalogue.
