REBORN addresses the issue of degraded seagrass meadows along the NWE coast. The objective is to enable large-scale seagrass restoration, thereby boosting biodiversity and natural capital. Focusing on coastal areas in Belgium, Ireland, France, the Netherlands and Germany, the project will deliver an NWE seagrass Restoration Strategy and Community Continuation Action Plan, develop a REBORN restoration model and joint training schemes for public authorities, businesses, scientists, and practitioners, and increase institutional capacity.
Unlocking seagrass restoration in NWE as a Blue-Green infrastructure and natural capital opportunity.
In due course a NWE Seagrass Restoration Community Continuation Action Plan document will be produced outlining the potential structure (strategic, administrative, technical, communications, capacity-building), financial strategy, and initial steps for a self-running NWE Seagrass Restoration Community post-REBORN. The action plan will explore EU and other funding opportunities (public and private) for its official establishment and continuation. The NWE Seagrass Restoration Community Continuation Action Plan will be endorsed by all project partners’ high-level representatives and 10 additional organisations. The action plan is to launched during the REBORN final event, coinciding with an ESRA biennial event, gathering representatives from all partners and additional organisations, including national and regional authorities.
REBORN began on 18th November 2025 and will end on the 30th June 2029.
REBORN brings together 11 partners from 5 countries.
