Brief description of the consultancy firmThe project aims at improving and reinforcing the conservation of the natural heritage in protected transitional ecosystems and at enlarging their sustainable fruition. The strategic objectives are to ameliorate conservation of the natural heritage in the protected transitional waters of the CADSES area, by deepening knowledge, producing technological innovation, reinforcing regulation and overcoming fragmentation of expertise and competencies. Also the territorial integration of environmental policy in the CADSES area should be reinforced. Efforts in conservation should be transferred to sustainable development strategies leading to the creation of new job opportunities and an improvement in the quality of life. The TWReferenceNET project creates activities in the following areas: environmental, socio-economic and networking communication. The environmental project area promotes studies and pilot actions on transitional protected areas focusing on Ramsar and Natura 2000 sites that means wetlands of international importance and areas beloning to the European network of protected sites. The socio-economic field carries out feasibility studies of sustainable economic development, promotes pilot actions for spin-offs in tourism firms, reinforces regulation and contributes to European standards integration for the environment in CADSES countries. The networking communication area is based on the creation of an e-Centre which constitutes a functional networking among protected transitional Ramsar and Natura 2000 sites by bridging knowledge, expertise and competencies of project partners, administrations, NGOs and firms.
