Estuaries and their surrounding wetland regions are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, with more than half of humanity inhabiting their shores. Anthropogenic factors make estuaries highly susceptible to ecosystem degradation. Coastal waters are closely connected with human activity, and their dynamic processes may greatly affect coastal environments. This book provides a compendium of studies on estuarine dynamics, river plumes, and coastal water dynamics, studies that have investigated the changes in estuarine and coastal zones in response to sea-level rise and other environmental factors, and policy and management strategies to ensure the health and economy of coastal zones. This book aims to display novel frontiers in these fields and may help to inspire in-depth studies in the future.

The concept of combining Flood Control Areas (FCA) and Areas with a Controlled Reduced Tide (CRT) to give ‘Space to the River’ has been developed, implemented and monitored in a pilot project in Flanders, Belgium. Through years of development, this nature-based solution is proved to be an effective approach of providing protection against flooding and improving resilience of the estuary ecosystem under the threat of climate change. One of the important goals in the European LIFE-SPARC project is to perform knowledge transfer of the FCA/CRT method with European partners. Sub report 1 is aligned with the LIFE-SPARC project Action C10: Transfer to other estuaries (Replicability & Transferability). This action aims to assess the applicability of the core concept in other European Estuaries
