Coastal areas sit at the intersection of environmental integrity, human health, and economic activity. Yet they are increasingly exposed to climate change, urbanisation, tourism, and agricultural pressures.
Deliverable D2.1 – Development of the ENHANCE One Health Framework for Coastal Management establishes the conceptual and methodological backbone of the ENHANCE project. It defines how the One Health approach is operationalised for coastal environments, recognising the interdependence between ecosystem health, biodiversity, water quality, and human well-being.
The deliverable:
- Introduces the ENHANCE One Health conceptual framework
- Defines key pressure categories affecting coastal zones (urban, agricultural, and climate extremes)
- Maps the links between environmental stressors and impacts on biodiversity and public health
- Structures the indicators and analytical components that will underpin ENHANCE tools
- Provides the scientific and methodological basis for future validation activities
D2.1 translates the One Health concept into a practical framework tailored to coastal management. It sets the foundation for integrating Earth observation data, citizen-generated data, and advanced analytics into coherent decision-support services.
