Description
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and BlueMissionAA hosted a crucial webinar on April 8 that promised to explore the intersection of marine science and policy implementation.
ICES and BlueMissionAA Nature Restoration Webinar: Recovery and restoration – Policy needs from science brought together leading experts to discuss how scientific knowledge can drive effective marine ecosystem restoration across European waters.
The event builds directly upon discussions from the recent Workshop on Nature Restoration (WKREST), held March 4-7, 2025. Key findings from this four-day workshop will be presented, offering attendees fresh insights into the latest thinking on marine restoration science.
Some of the key questions that were addressed:
- How can existing marine science be adapted to better support policy frameworks for implementing and assessing restoration targets?
- What new research is required to bridge gaps in knowledge and improve restoration strategies?
- Are there notable success stories that can offer valuable insights and best practices?
- How can restoration methods be tailored to various ecosystem components such as fish, marine mammals, benthos, and birds – as well as specific environmental conditions including eutrophication in the Baltic and Black Sea and connections to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems?
