Prone2Success Tool

The EcoAdvance Prone2Success (P2S) Checklist presents a list of factors that have been identified as being likely to help make a freshwater restoration project more prone to success. In short, if you are embarking upon a freshwater restoration project, then addressing the issues associated with each of the P2S checklist factors should improve your chances of delivering a more successful project.

The P2S Checklist was developed from a programme of literature reviews, survey, consultation and interviews with different stakeholders drawn from the freshwater restoration community across Europe. Reports detailing the various stages and components of work that form the foundations of the P2S Checklist can be accessed here. In particular, Report WP3-Dl-64 (D3-3) gives a more detailed analysis of the P2S Checklist.

The online version below allows you to navigate the checklist dynamically and to cross link with EcoAdvance Showcases and publications related to the issues associated with any particular P2S Checklist factor.
