The Resilient Landscapes and Seas (RLAS) Online Search Tool | RLAS Partnership
The Resilient Landscapes and Seas (RLAS) Search Tool is a live public resource which allows anyone to explore and search for landscape projects, and enter details for current or new projects. In order to add new projects, the landscape projects must be 500+ hectares in scale, and deliver actions to improve outcomes for people, nature and climate. The search tool was devised by the RLAS Partnership, its design and development was funded by Natural England, and it is hosted by the technology provider the GeoData Institute at the University of Southampton. Access the tool to browse or add projects: https://search.rlas-partnership.org.uk/ The vision of the RLAS Partnership is to enable the creation of large-scale land, freshwater, coastal and marine systems which deliver a more sustainable and resilient future for nature, people and climate. The Partnership consists of several member organisations, and each year they host a symposium to bring together stakeholders.
