The land-sea interface area (LSI) face rising pressures, including increased pollution and biodiversity loss, carbon cycle dynamics, and climate change threats. Diverse efforts are currently being made to observe those crucial areas of the world, including through in-situ and satellite observations, modelling, and citizen science activities. But to fully unlock the potential of these efforts to understand and protect the land-sea interface area from these challenges, further cooperation is needed.
Brought to you by LandSeaLot, the Land-Sea 2026 conference will assess the progress that has been made so far to improve observations and invite scientists, decision makers, and regional stakeholders to contribute to a robust Common Observation Strategy for the future of the LSI. With sessions planned to introduce LandSeaLot’s mission, explore novel methods such as the use of cost-effective observation technology, and share success stories emerging from regional and local actions and citizen science collaborations, Land-Sea 2026 will showcase achievements to date and give opportunity for input to the Common Observation Strategy for understanding and addressing challenges at the LSI.
Further information, including a detailed programme will be available soon.
Brought to you by the EU-funded project LandSeaLot, the Land-Sea 2026 conference will assess the progress that has been made so far to improve observations and invite scientists, decision makers, and local community partners to contribute to a robust Common Observation Strategy for the future of the LSI. The conference will showcase LandSeaLot’s achievements to date, including regional perspectives from the nine LandSeaLot Integration Labs around Europe.
About LandSeaLot
LandSeaLot is an EU-funded project that seeks to improve how we observe the LSI, where terrestrial and marine habitats meet. By integrating, scaling up and enhancing existing observation efforts (in-situ, satellite, citizen science, and modelling), LandSeaLot aims to improve our understanding of crucial ecosystems and address pressing challenges at the interface of land and sea, for nature and for society.
