Seascape Symposium II: Reconnecting the Seascape
2025-06-04 - 2025-06-05 | Huxley Lecture Theatre, ZSL, Zoological Society of London, London, United Kingdom
In 2022, the first Seascape Symposium explored ecological connectivity across temperate coastal habitats, such as seagrass, saltmarsh, native oysters, and kelp forests, with 150 attendees of scientists, regulators, policy makers and practitioners. The importance of integrated restoration of coastal habitats at the scale of the seascape is realised now more than ever, with collapsed European native oyster ecosystems, an accelerated global loss of seagrass over the last 100 years, 50% degradation of global saltmarshes, and 60% degradation of existing kelp forests. If global restoration targets are to be delivered, it is time to build on our understanding of the temperate seascape’s potential to deliver for nature and people at scale.
On 4th and 5th June 2025, ZSL will hold a second Seascape Symposium, “Reconnecting the Seascape”, in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth and the University of Edinburgh. Seascape Symposium II aims to connect coastal habitat experts to explore the principles of seascape restoration, update on advances in restoration science, habitat connectivity and monitoring, and continue to build a community that can work together to overcome the barriers to scaling up coastal habitat restoration.
For more information and to book tickets (both in person and online registration options available), please visit https://www.zsl.org/news-and-events/events/seascape-symposium-ii-reconnecting-seascape . If funding is a barrier to your attendance at the Symposium, please get in touch at scientific.events@zsl.org to discuss further registration options.

Nature credits in the EU's coastal and marine ecosystems
2026-01-30 09:00 - 12:15 (Europe/Paris) | Online
The Commission has undertaken to support Member States in the planning and implementation of measures to restore degraded coastal and marine habitats to reach the legally binding target under the Nature Restoration Regulation of covering at least 20% of EU sea areas with necessary measures by 2030 and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050.
As part of this effort, on 7 July 2025, the European Commission published a Roadmap towards Nature Credits, outlining a strategic approach to stimulate private investment in nature-positive actions across the EU. The initiative aims to complement public funding by creating market-based incentives to protect and restore nature. It seeks to reward those who actively contribute to ecosystem restoration and conservation (including farmers, foresters, fishers, landowners, and local communities) and to encourage investors to support these efforts.
This workshop is part of the consultation on the Roadmap, focusing on coastal and marine ecosystems. It will take stock of what has already been done, see what has worked and what else is needed to develop transparent criteria and methodologies that prevent risks and ensure integrity on both supply and demand side while being simple and practical, relying wherever possible on existing principles or standards.

From Habitat to Harvest: restoration that works for fishers
2026-04-23 00:00 - 2026-04-24 23:59 UTC
Event Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Event Date: 23 – 24 April
Host Organization: European Bureau for Conservation and Development
Event Description:
Fisheries knowledge and management tools are essential to delivering marine restoration on the ground. This workshop positions fisheries as active contributors to habitat recovery and clarifies how fisheries management can support the EU Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) implementation through practical, workable measures.
This workshop focuses on how fisheries can continue to contribute positively to restoration, while remaining viable and productive. The emphasis is on solutions that can be implemented in practice.
The workshop will explore ways fisheries can support and deliver habitat restoration under the NRR. This includes productive fishing grounds, mixed-use areas and working seascapes, not only protected sites. Fishers, fisheries managers and national NRR planners will share experiences to identify measures that build on existing fisheries management, reduce pressure where needed, and enhance ecosystem functions that fisheries depend on.
Participants will be asked to share examples of fisheries contributing to habitat recovery, clarifying how fisheries management can support NRR targets. The aim is to co-develop proportionate measures that strengthen stock resilience, seabed integrity and habitats.

Deep-Sea Restoration Webinar Series: Knowing Where to Restore
2026-05-07 15:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Paris)
Identifying where to restore is one of the most complex and important challenges in deep-sea ecosystem recovery. As global efforts such as Mission Ocean and Waters accelerate action on ocean health, the need for informed, science-based decision-making is increasingly critical.
This webinar will explore how site selection, ecological baselines, and available data can guide effective deep-sea restoration. Drawing on insights from the REDRESS project, speakers will share current approaches, practical experiences, and key uncertainties shaping restoration in these largely unexplored environments.
The session will examine how mapping tools, ecological knowledge, and emerging methodologies can support decision-making, while also addressing technical, environmental, and governance considerations. Participants will gain insight into how restoration strategies can be designed to be both effective and adaptable across deep-sea contexts.
The webinar includes keynote presentations followed by a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A via Slido, creating space for exchange across science, policy, and practice.
