European Coastal Wetlands Interactive Platform

What is the European Coastal Wetlands Interactive Platform
Information about key characteristics of coastal wetlands is crucial for evidence-based decision-making, as well as an enabler for progress in data gathering, monitoring and research. The European Coastal Wetlands Interactive Platform provides access to a wide range of spatial data tools that allow you to broaden your knowledge about coastal wetland ecosystems and interact with the available data to generate updated information.
The platform is composed of a set of interactive tools, spatial data viewers and data and metadata catalogues that allow to discover the wealth of data generated during the lifetime of the Restore4Cs project (R4Cs). It focuses on data that is available at European scale, but also provides access to the information for the 6 pilot cases of R4Cs.
The interactive platform aims at being a long-term information hub for coastal wetlands, contributing to a better understanding of these ecosystems, complementing the information available for other wetland ecosystems (e.g. Global Mangrove Watch) and providing evidence-based decision-support for wetland managers and planners at different scales.

Indicators and data
Policy progress indicators
Explore the monitoring dashboard for tracking policy progress through indicators and metrics, and find out the state of coastal wetlands in your countryEcosystem extent and condition assessment indicators
Dashboard to explore and extract metrics at the national level by type of wetland
Decision-support Toolbox
Prioritisation tool
Planning tool
User guides, documentation and FAQ
The documentation section provides users with all the necessary information to properly understand and use the tools of the platform (Policy Progress, Condition Assessment and decision-making support toolbox for restoration actions, Data Quality monitor, data/metadata catalogue).
This section includes a set of resources (information, how-to’s, videos, etc.) explaining the interface of the tools, how to use them, what to expect, where are the reference/background documents, among others.
Monitor on the status of the data supporting our tools
Find out more about the status and quality of the data. Here you can understand the “completeness” of each indicator or layer (policy progress indicators and metrics; condition assessment layers, information layers, etc.) regarding the availability of the needed input data. You will see details about the data of each tool and be able to discover which indicators and layers are available in and a visual indicator of its completeness.
