The TIDE project is carried out in a partnership of 10 organisations from the four named estuaries.
The TIDE experts cover the range of port and waterways administrators, scientists and environment agencies and thus represent different views towards estuarine management. The cooperation of these stakeholders committed to an integrated management approach provided the joint outcomes of TIDE as presented by this toolbox. This also includes products of other institutions commissioned by TIDE.
