Within European coastal zones, intertidal areas consisting of soft sediment emerging during each low tide, form complex seascapes covering more than 10 000 km2 along the 35 000 km of the tidal coastline. These habitats provide multiple ecosystem services with great potential to cope with the biodiversity-climate crisis by contributing to carbon neutrality, climate resilience and biodiversity support. Nevertheless, these seascapes continue to be fragmented and threatened, resulting in a decrease of their provision of services. Rewilding, a nature-based solution, is a new concept for seascapes to reverse this situation and to “let (again) Nature do the job” ensuring climate resilience, biodiversity support and societal benefit of the future European shoreline. Within a network of 10 demonstrators and 25 partners from 11 European states, including 8 with a tidal coast, plus the UK, Canada and the USA, REWRITE will bring an interdisciplinary consortium of natural and coastal environment and social sciences and humanities experts to address the current ecological and social challenges regarding intertidal seascape rewilding. Expanding innovative approaches, REWRITE will focus on the climate-biodiversity society nexus, to reach 4 specific objectives: -identify environmental, social and cultural drivers and barrier parameters to rewild intertidal sediment seascapes within the context of climate change; -strongly engage stakeholders to achieve a step-change in their appreciation of the natural function of these seascapes and integrate their interests within a co-design of scenario for future European shoreline; - estimate and upscale trajectories of intertidal seascapes from the local to the European level, following rewilding (passive), restoring (active), “business as usual” or “do nothing” options; -establish tools and methods for successful rewilding to ensure a high ecological and societal co-benefit/low-cost ratio for a climate-neutral and resilient European shoreline.

在欧洲沿海地区内，每次潮汐期间都出现了柔软的沉积物，形成复杂的海景，沿潮汐海岸线的35 000公里，覆盖了超过10 000 km2。这些栖息地提供了多种生态系统服务，具有巨大的潜力来应对生物多样性气候危机，从而促进碳中立性，气候弹性和生物多样性支持。然而，这些海景继续被分散和威胁，导致他们提供的服务下降。重新野生是一种基于自然的解决方案，是海景扭转这种情况并“让（再次）自然完成工作的新概念”，以确保气候韧性，生物多样性支持和未来欧洲海岸线的社会利益。在一个来自11个欧洲州的10个示威者和25个合作伙伴的网络中，包括8个带有潮汐海岸，加拿大，加拿大和美国的网络，重写将带来跨学科的扩展创新方法，重写将集中在气候生物多样性社会上，以达到4个特定的目标： - 识别环境，社会和文化驾驶员的氛围，以使环境，社会和文化群体划分来划分，以使其与众不同。 改变; - 竭尽全力使利益相关者实现对这些海景的自然功能的欣赏，并将其利益融入到未来欧洲海岸线的场景中； - 在潮间带（被动），恢复（主动），“像往常一样”或“无所事事”的选择之后，从本地到欧洲一级的潮间景观的较小和高档轨迹； - 建立成功复兴的工具和方法，以确保为气候中性和富有弹性的欧洲海岸线提供高生态和社会化的共同效力/低成本比率。
