Restoring ecosystems for life
Restoring ecosystems across land and sea
Restoring ecosystems for generations to come
Restoration Works: seven projects; seven years of restoration impact.
Habitats across Europe are degrading at alarming rates. Our mission is to reverse that change.
The Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme is building a future in which landscapes and seascapes are enriched with biodiversity, establishing resilient and more self-sustaining ecosystems that benefit both nature and people.

Can Europe produce enough native oysters for restoration?
Europe’s native oyster restoration movement is growing, but a major challenge could limit its progress: the supply of native oyster seed. A new roadmap, developed by the Zoological Society of London, University of Portsmouth and Blue Marine Foundation, sets out a vision for increasing hatchery production to support large-scale restoration and regenerative aquaculture. Developed through consultation with more than 100 stakeholders across Europe, it explores barriers including uncertain long-term demand, investment, disease management, genetics and skills. The roadmap highlights what is needed to build a more resilient native oyster sector capable of supporting Europe’s growing ambitions for marine and coastal restoration.
