Dear all,
We are very pleased to announce our next CESABINAR, which will take place on Friday March 7th, from 2:00 to 3:15pm, Paris time). Alienor Jeliazkov, Jean-Nicolas Beisel and Aaron Sexton will present the work of the NAVIDIV group (see the attached flyer): Inland navigation infrastructures and biodiversity: impacts and opportunities for waterwayscape management.
The aim of these CESABINARS is to present the main results of the working groups once they finish a CESAB cycle. They last about 1 hour: 40 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of questions, perhaps a bit more. The CESABINARs are open to the whole scientific community, to the participants of the CESAB groups and to the FRB network. They are
a good opportunity to see how the CESAB groups work and what are their main results, but also to get in touch with the CESAB community and to get informed about our news. They are in English, so don’t hesitate to promote them in your networks.

TITLE: Inland navigation infrastructures and biodiversity: impacts and opportunities for waterwayscape management.
ABSTRACT: Facing global change, inland navigation transport is considered as one of the most promising, sustainable transport alternatives to help operate the world ecological transition and achieve climate neutrality. Waterways thus must develop their infrastructures to promote green transport alternatives. However, ecomorphological modifications of rivers will affect biodiversity status and resilience. With the stated objective to sustainable management of waterways, the question therefore remains: what are the impacts of inland navigation on biodiversity, and how to mitigate them?
Cues currently available to solve this question rely on scattered case studies whose results are highly context- and scale-dependent. In addition, our knowledge of the processes driving navigation- biodiversity relationships is still limited and requires further research. We thus realised a synthesis project to study the relationships between navigation activity, the associated Inland Navigation Infrastructures (INIs), and biodiversity across different contexts and scales. Our specific aims are to:
(i) Quantify and hierarchize the effects of navigation and INIs on taxonomic and functional biodiversity;
(ii) Evaluate the context-dependency and scale-dependency of the INIs-biodiversity
relationships;
(iii) Assess the potential of restoration plans in mitigating navigation pressures.
This work provides impact assessment and synthetic knowledge, offering guidelines on how to prioritize management and restoration actions depending on the context and on which scales to conceive policies that ensure consistency across territories.
