Background
The protection and conservation of coastal habitats is a major issue across Europe. The Marais Poitevin was formed as a result of the filling of Picton's gulf with sediments from the ocean. The marsh is the meeting point of the marine environment, the inner wetland and the migration routes, which explains the extraordinary biodiversity it hosts ...

Coordinated Efforts for International Species Recovery (EuroSAP)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Background
Species action plans (SAPs) for non-huntable bird species and management plans (MPs) for huntable bird species have expired, while new conservation strategies need to be developed for some species that are showing sharp population declines. Furthermore, a new conservation approach that identifies and addresses groups of bird species sharing sim ...

Conservation of major breeding sites and implementation of innovative and demonstrative actions for the French Corncrake (Life + Râle des genets)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
... in France. A European Action Plan was prepared in 1996 and an international single species action plan was prepared in 2006. In 2005-2009, a national action plan for France was coordinated by the LPO.
Despite all these different conservation actions over the past 20 years, the French populations have continued to decline (by over 60% in the past two decades). In the mid 1970s, the French popula ...

The Future of the Atlantic Marine Environment (FAME)
Start date: Apr 3, 2010, End date: Apr 7, 2013,
Although the AA is characterised by its marine biodiversity, action to protect the marine environment still requires further development, considering both the potential and the fragility that characterise this environment. One aspect that is still in its initial study and implementation phase is the creation of Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in some of the Member States participating in the project. ...
