CLIMAREST

Project duration: 01.02.2025-30.11.2025

CLIMAREST is an EU-funded research project consisting of 18 partners from along the length of the European coastline. The project belongs to the EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters, and is a member of the Lighthouse for the Arctic and Atlantic Basin. 

Innovative solutions for marine restoration will be demonstrated in five different environments across a latitudinal gradient, from the high-Arctic Svalbard at 79°N to the Madeira archipelago at 33°N. CLIMAREST will be developed on a latitudinal gradient representative of different coastal ecosystems and anthropogenic and climate change pressures across Europe allowing for generalization of our results. 

These experiences will be replicated at another site with similar conditions to ensure the replicability of results and extrapolated to other locations that can be used to adapt the methodologies to the great diversity of marine ecosystems in European coastal habitats. 

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101093865.
