Restoring a coastal wetland
Reconnecting drained coastal land to the tide, and what it takes to monitor how a saltmarsh re-establishes over time.
Change, on the ground. Ideas put to work in real places.
Each project shows what it takes to move an approach from paper into a place: the steps, the systems it touches and the trade-offs along the way.
On OTHERWAYS, every project is documented the same way: what the work involves, in order; the solutions it puts to use; the climate systems it connects; and what it has to weigh up.
Each entry links to the solutions it puts to use and the climate systems it touches.
