WildMarsh: Enhancing coastal resilience through trophic rewilding

Restoring large grazers through strategic reintroduction or passive management offers hope to halt biodiversity loss and enhance coastal climate resilience. However, the effectiveness and optimal conditions remain unclear. WildMarsh establishes a robust scientific foundation, identifying ''hopeful sites'' in Europe where grazers can bolster marsh resilience against climate challenges (such as sea-level rise, heatwaves). Scientists and stakeholders will develop innovative tools for remote rewilding impact measurement and ecosystem resilience assessment, engaging the public in data collection and art. Utilizing advanced ecological experiments, remote sensing, deep learning, and citizen science, WildMarsh paves the way for a more resilient future for wild coastlines.
