SUMMARY:European Seagrass Restoration Alliance Workshop II (ESRW2)
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd European Seagrass Restoration Workshop will take place in Arcachon\, France\, from April 8th to April 10th\, 2025. \nThe theme of ESRW2\, “Towards a European Seagrass Restoration Alliance” is recognition that this European Seagrass Restoration Workshop is at this stage only an initiative\, and that an effective ‘European Seagrass Restoration Alliance’ will only become a realty from the creation of a positive\, welcoming and inclusive community. \nSER-Europe will be there! Join us to make this alliance a reality and begin a new era for transnational collaboration for seagrass restoration in Europe.

SUMMARY:Seascape Symposium II: Reconnecting the Seascape
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOn 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. \nFor 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. \nYou can find the programme here: SSII programme overview

SUMMARY:Nature credits in the EU's coastal and marine ecosystems
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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. \nThis 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. \n Register here

SUMMARY:From Habitat to Harvest: restoration that works for fishers
DESCRIPTION:Event Location: Copenhagen\, Denmark \nEvent Date: 23 – 24 April \nHost Organization: European Bureau for Conservation and Development \nEvent Description: \nFisheries 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. \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nParticipants 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. \n Learn more

SUMMARY:Symposium on Restoration: Habitat Restoration for Diadromous Fishes – Best Practices and Impacts on Stock Assessment
DESCRIPTION:This international\, primarily in-person symposium brings together scientists\, practitioners\, and stakeholders to share best practices in restoring freshwater habitats for diadromous fishes and to examine how restoration influences fish stock assessment and sustainable use. The programme addresses restoration outcomes under climate and land-use change\, with a focus on species such as Atlantic salmon\, European eel\, sea trout\, and sea lamprey. \nSessions will explore restoration successes and failures\, social and governance challenges\, best practices and monitoring tools\, and climate-smart approaches to habitat restoration. The symposium aims to synthesize evidence from across regions and develop science-based guidance to better integrate restoration projects into stock assessments and management advice. \nThe programme includes keynote presentations\, oral and poster sessions\, interactive discussions\, field excursions to local restoration sites\, and a side workshop on thermal infrared imaging of rivers. Scientific presentations may be followed online at no cost\, while interactive sessions are in person only. \nAbstract submission is open until 15 February 2026. Attendance is capped at 100 participants. \n Learn more\nLocation: University of Oulu\, Linnanmaa Campus\, Oulu\, FinlandContact: restofish@luke.fi
