    Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

    • EUStrategyAdriaticIonianRegion The CRADLE project aligns with the EUSAIR's focus on enhancing environmental quality, a key pillar of the strategy. Our project directly contributes to the second flagship under this pillar: "Protection and enhancement of natural terrestrial habitats and ecosystems". By developing and implementing guidelines for the conservation and restoration of wetland and coastal nursery areas, we are enhancing the protection of these critical habitats. Furthermore, our project's emphasis on cooperation and knowledge exchange supports the EUSAIR's goal of fostering regional integration and cooperation.
    • EuropeanGreenDeal The CRADLE project contributes to the European Green Deal's ambition of promoting a sustainable and climate-neutral economy. The project's focus on sustainable practices and ecosystem services aligns with the Green Deal's emphasis on biodiversity and zero pollution. By enhancing the nursery function of modified habitats, the project supports the Green Deal's objective of restoring Europe's ecosystems and their services, thereby contributing to the transition to a net-zero carbon economy.
