Overview:

The main objective of this GCCA+ project is to support adaptation to climate change to increase coastal and flood protection in the vulnerable areas of La Digue Island. This will be achieved mainly through the formulation and adaptation of an integrated shoreline management plan, enhancing stream channel and wetland productivity and flood buffering capacity, improving shoreline protection and mitigation of saltwater contamination.

The  GCCA + project  on La Digue consists of four main components which include; a shoreline management plan, enhancement of wetlands and rivers to improve water flow,  restoration of beach berms to enhance shoreline protection and addressing the issue of saltwater intrusion on La Digue. This consultancy will address the activities under component 1 to develop and implement a shoreline management plan.

The specific scope of this consultancy will to set the base line for the other components under the GCCA+ adaptation project. Historical and on site information will be collected in order to model the sediment dynamics of the area and from the findings, the most cost appropriate measures will be proposed to be implemented in component three of the project. Similar baseline data will be collected for the coastal flooding component.
