What is SWARE?

A project in the Interreg Europe 2014-2020 programme, which improves synergy between culture and nature heritage protection and sustainable development in inland waterway regions. The growing number of visitors to inland waterway regions causes tensions with heritage conservation. The main objective of the SWARE project is to foster integrated management of natural and cultural heritage within inland waterway regions by improving the partner regions’ related policy instruments in order to create a better balance between the protection and sustainable exploitation of the natural resources and the built heritage sites.
