To coincide with World Wetlands Day, we have unveiled today our recently redesigned coastal habitat creation and restoration website, OMReg.

OMReg is an online searchable database of implemented coastal habitat creation and restoration schemes mainly in North West Europe but increasingly further afield. Each scheme entry includes the what, why, where and how of each project together with photos, design drawings and other media where available.

The new OMReg website has a modern layout, improved search function and now allows users to both add unlisted schemes directly to the database and download project information.
Background.

In 2005 we recognised that it is important for coastal managers, engineers and other specialists to learn from completed schemes, we therefore developed the Online Managed Realignment Guide (OMReg). Since that time it has grown to encompass other techniques and currently holds over 160 completed schemes.
