Restoration Handbooks published to give best practice advice on creating new estuarine and coastal habitatsThree new environmental handbooks set out best practice for coastal restoration projects. ![]() Steart Marshes aerial shot Three new environmental handbooks that set out guidance for the first time of how to carry out best practice estuarine and coastal habitat creation projects across the UK and Ireland have been published. The handbooks provide practical guidance on restoring and creating estuarine and coastal habitats, bringing together advice on planning and implementing such schemes with case studies and lessons from previous examples. They will be a tool to support local authorities, community partnerships and environmental organisations on restoring blue carbon habitats – habitats that can absorb carbon dioxide, help achieve net zero and tackle climate change. The three detailed handbooks have been written by academics, industry specialists and environmental organisations that are experts in the field:
Since the Industrial Revolution there has been significant loss of nature-rich, carbon-storing estuarine and coastal habitats around the UK and globally, which the handbooks aim to counter by encouraging restoration projects and laying down best practice guidelines. The handbooks look at a range of existing projects as case studies, such as:
The creation of these habitats will provide flood defence, fisheries, water quality, biodiversity, social and wellbeing benefits, as well as mitigating against climate change. The coastal restoration handbooks are hosted on the website of the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA), a partnership of local authorities, water companies, environmental organisations and businesses working together to maximise the natural value of the environment. Emma Howard Boyd, chair of the Environment Agency, said:
Alison Debney, Marine and Freshwater Conservation Programme Manager, Zoological Society of London, said:
These three handbooks partner with the existing handbook on European native oyster habitat restoration, which was published in November 2020. All four restoration handbooks will be living documents and will be updated when changes in legislation or updated science.
