Seagrass meadow restoration is critical for coastal resilience to climate change, for biological resources and sustainable tourism, for good environmental status and for long-term carbon sequestration. Currently and despite accumulated impact, large scale marine restoration is not done because of costs and lack of reliable tools.
We believe large scale seagrass meadow restoration will be viable in the medium term if an ambitious and multidisciplinary RDI effort is made to develop the tools necessary for commercial production and replanting at large scale. This way, we will be able to select plants and sites, reproduce and grow them industrially, and replant and restore ecosystems with 4.0 monitoring and sustainable management plans.
