The dikes around the Lancieux bay are in poor condition, and overflow occasionally during storm surges. The dunes along the Roche Morin beach are exposed to erosion, and surrounding agricultural land is at risk of flooding and saltwater intrusion. There are a lot of different interests and activities present in the area which comprises of two municipalities. The challenges are to prepare the territory for dealing with the presence of salt water, and there is a governance challenge as it covers two municipalities. The pilot will serve as a learning case on how to upscale NbS in a challenging governance context, by adopting a multi-stakeholder approach and building a solid business case in ecotourism.
