The final conference of the LIFE VIMINE project will be held on 22-23 June 2017 in Venice. The project aims to define and implement a novel integrated approach to protect the most interior salt marshes of the northern lagoon of Venice, which are disappearing because of erosion processes originating mainly from human activities.
Salt marshes are unique habitats: they support biodiversity, have a high landscape value and provide tangible benefits to humans.
To protect salt marshes LIFE VIMINE aims to prevent erosion by constructing numerous, small and spatially-diffuse soil-bioengineering protection works. The core of the project is the involvement of local communities and stakeholders: through their knowledge and bond with their land, they will secure a long-term future for the proposed integrated approach.
When: 22-23 June 2017
Where: Venice, Italy.
You can find the preliminary program in the conference leaflet.
