Responding to the Risks from Climate Change in Coastal Zones - A good practice guide

Centre for the Coastal Environment, Isle of Wight Council, September 2006.

The 'Good Practice Guide' developed as part of the EU LIFE Environment 'Response' project (LIFE03 ENV/UK/000611) contains advice on sustainable coastal risk management and examples from around Europe and the world of how the growing impact of natural hazards on coastal communities can be addressed and reduced.

Mapping Coastal Risks in a Changing Climate - Training Pack

Centre for the Coastal Environment, Isle of Wight Council, September 2006.

This 'Training Pack' of the LIFE 'Response' project (LIFE03 ENV/UK/000611) on coastal evolution and risk mapping guides the reader through the process of producing maps that show the future pattern of coastal evolution and risks across a region (or sediment cell), which take account of the impacts of climate change. These maps can provide an understanding of the pattern and scale of coastal change and the future of natural coastal risks and hazards. The maps can be prepared and used by coastal managers, local/regional authority officers, engineers, practitioners and planners to contribute towards e.g. the identification of future requirements for coastal protection measures or showing locations where managed retreat may be necessary. The final maps in the sequence can also be used by decision-makers and politicians to understand and communicate the pattern and severity of current and future coastal risks, and assist in targeting resources effectively.

Conservation of Cory's shearwater on the Hyères islands

The following publications have been produced by the "Conservation of Cory's shearwater on the Hyères islands" LIFE project (LIFE03 NAT/F/000105).

Cahier technique pour la conservation des oiseaux marins sur les îles d'Hyères

2007, 52p.

The cahier technique is a document that includes all the necessary information for the management of the reproduction sites of the Hyères island seabirds, such as Cory's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea diomedea) and Yelkouan Shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan). This bilan has also been produced to distinguish the priority actions from those that are less important.

Ecologie et conservation d'un oiseau marin endemique de mediterranee (Puffinus Yelkouan)

2004, 64p.

During the project, a thesis has been completed on the Yelkouan Shearwater. It included a study of the threats the seabird is facing with regard to a conservation programme by the National Parc of Port-Cros.
