Deliverables

Documents, reports (4)

Demonstrator’s environmental histories: timelines and trajectories intermediate report

Demonstrator’s environmental histories: timelines and trajectories report, comparing local histories of coastal management in all demonstrators, timelines and potential pathways for rewildingTask 2.2

Project Management Handbook

Handbook for day-to-day management of the project. This handbook will include 7 sections:1/Working ethics and responsible behaviour; 2/ Consortium Organisation; 3/Project Work Plan Structure; 4/Responsibilities and Duties; 5/Internal communication and workflow; 6/Budget and payments of the project; 7/Reporting and quality assurance.For example, the Plan will anticipate the deliverable productions three months before the final deadline, to ensure its level of qualityThis Deliverable is related to Task 1.1

Selection and gap analysis report for each demonstrator, interim (carbon and biodiversity)

Explanation of the selection of the demonstrator sites.Synthesis of current Ecosystem Services interim. Gap analysis report for the Demonstrators, indicating data missing and needed for a full description of current Ecosystem Services provisionTasks 2.1.1 and 2.1.2

Data Management Plan first version

Data Management Plan (DMP) will be built on principles of FAIRness, transparency and accessibility taking EU and different national obligations into account and which is a key element of good data management.A first version of the data management plan will be released at month 6, followed by annual updates of the document.This deliverable is related to task 1.3
