DELTANET – a network of European deltas (2010 – 13)
An INTERREG IVC project sharing best practice in estuary/delta management across a network of European estuaries and deltas
Key themes:
- Integrated management and coordinated policy for deltas and estuaries
- Flood and sediment management
- Environmental Quality
- Delta/estuary awareness
A summary of some of the key findings of Deltanet is provided in the following paper:

DeltaNet Project – Final Report 
April 2013
The DELTANET Partnership followed on from the LES ESTUARIALES (1990 – 2009) partnership of municipal and regional Authorities with responsibility for the sustainable management of several European Estuaries.
IMCORE – Innovative Management for Europe’s Changing Coastal Resource (2008 – 11)
An INTERREG IVB project looking at the impacts of climate change on coastal areas involving SEP and various partners around North West Europe
- Lots of local resources for the Severn were produced:
- Education resources
- Severn Estuary Scenarios
- Climate change report cards
- We also produced guidance and a toolBOX of key tools to help adapt to climate change in coastal areas
COREPOINT – Coastal Research and Policy Integration (2004 – 2008)
An INTERREG IIIB project which aimed to build capacity for Integrated Coastal Zone Management among researchers and local spatial planners. This was achieved through a partnership approach in a number of case study areas across North West Europe.
A unique aspect of the project was the way that policy was influenced by research and vice versa in consideration of coastal zones. As part of our involvement, SEP produced:
- Training courses and materials on Integrated Coastal Management
- An education pack on the maritime heritage of the Severn
- Stories of the Severn Sea Part One
- Stories of the Severn Sea Part Two
- Stories of the Severn Sea Part Three
- Various resources related to coastal planning and research on the Severn
A summary of some of the key findings of COREPOINT is provided in the following journals:

COASTATLANTIC – Integrated Coastal Zone Management: towards an Atlantic Vision (2003 – 2006)
An Interreg 3B involving partners from Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, and Portugal. The aim was to develop a vision for integrated coastal zone management on Europe’s western seaboard based on the experience of delivering a range of local initiatives.
