SILMAS Project: the web site is on line

SILMAS, for Sustainable Instruments for Lakes Management in the Alpine Space, is a European project on the alpine lakes. 14 partners of 5 alpine space countries work as a network to reach three objectives:

• share ideas and experience across a European network;
• produce concrete tools to help stakeholders;
• raise public awareness of the need to protect lake environment.

Over a three-year period, scientists, academics and technicians from the public authorities in charge of managing the lakes will pool their knowledge, with a particular focus on three main areas:

1. The effects of climate change on the Alpine lakes;
2. Resolving conflicts between the different uses of the lakes;
3. 3. Educating the public in sustainable development as it relates to the Alpine lakes.
