A new publication developed under the Climate Resilient East Atlantic Flyway (CREAF) project provides practical guidance for monitoring waterbird populations at critical wetland sites across the East Atlantic Flyway, with a particular focus on Western Africa.

Held online on 3 March 2026, the meeting provided an opportunity to present the overall aims and approach of the project.

The Steering Group of the project “Integrated Environmental Monitoring Framework for Coastal Wetlands Along the East Atlantic Flyway” (FLY2 Coastal Wetlands Project) met this week at the Maritime Museum in Hamburg’s historic Speicherstadt to review the progress on the project's framework development.

In the beginning of March, the Hamburg team around Bezirksamt Altona and Hamburg University of Applied Sciences welcomed partners of the Interreg North Sea Project DARKER SKY.

The newly published methodological guidelines are the first step in ensuring adequate data availability for modelling climate impacts at the site level.
