Assess learners' ability to design a comprehensive, multidisciplinary adaptation and restoration plan for a degraded coastal estuary that integrates ecological restoration, blue‑carbon sequestration, sustainable community livelihoods, hydrodynamic modeling across multiple sea‑level rise and storm scenarios, appropriate policy/instrument mixes, and a measurable monitoring & evaluation framework. The task should require: site assessment and objectives; prioritized restoration and livelihood interventions; methods for estimating and financing blue carbon; hydrodynamic modeling strategy (model choice, scenarios, inputs, sensitivity/uncertainty analysis); policy, governance and financing mechanisms; trade‑off and cost‑benefit reasoning; and a SMART M&E plan with indicators, baselines, sampling design, thresholds for adaptive management, reporting, and timelines. Expect justification of choices, data needs, stakeholder engagement approaches, and risk/uncertainty management.
