RENAT3R

Short description of the action

The project focuses on the **renaturalization of the Bisbal stream and the Lluc and Cullerer torrents** as they pass through the urban area of El Vendrell. It aims to **restore degraded ecosystems, improve flood resilience, and enhance public spaces** by integrating nature-based solutions. The intervention will reconnect the watercourses with their natural dynamics, **increase biodiversity, improve water quality, and create multifunctional green corridors** that provide ecological, social, and recreational benefits.

Expected impacts include **enhanced ecological integrity**, with restored riparian habitats supporting native flora and fauna, and **reduced flood risks** through improved hydrological resilience. The project will also contribute to the **Mission’s Objective II** by reducing nutrient runoff and minimizing chemical pesticide use, promoting healthier water systems. Additionally, the creation of accessible green spaces will foster **community engagement, well-being, and climate adaptation**, positioning this initiative as a model for urban river restoration and sustainable landscape management.
