A Handbook of Best Practise Examples
in Planning and Management of Cultural Landscapes and Heritage
in the Wadden Sea Region and The Wash Area
 

The handbook of best practise examples has been produced to provide a summary of issues affecting the Planning and Management of the cultural heritage in the Wadden Sea region, together with examples of projects which illustrate best practice within the region.

The best practice handbook provides a means for all parties involved in the management, preservation and enhancement of the cultural landscape of the Wadden Sea region to learn from examples of projects which have been successful in practice.

The handbook includes 30 examples of best practise which detail projects undertaken, relating to the preservation, management and enhancement of the historic cultural and natural environment of the Wadden Sea and the Wash. They include habitat recreation in the form of the restoration of wetland meadows, the development of regeneration programmes which take into account the cultural heritage of urban centres, the creation of guided or themed trails to encourage a greater awareness of the cultural heritage by both tourists and local people and the restoration of inland waterways to navigable use.

The projects summarised provide good examples of the preservation, management and promotion of the natural and cultural heritage of a particular area or locality. Although many of these examples are local in their scope, their application, like the issues and problems that they address, are trans-national. The projects summarised provide examples of the development of cross-sector working, and how the management of the cultural heritage and landscape can enhance other important areas of Wadden Sea life, such as nature conservation, tourism and job creation.
