Restoring Eelgrass in the Baltic Sea
Tracking and monitoring eelgrass meadow restoration — vital habitats for marine biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and coastal resilience across the Baltic region.
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a marine flowering plant that forms dense underwater meadows across temperate coastlines. In the Baltic Sea, it grows at depths of 1–6 meters on sandy or muddy substrates, creating one of the most productive ecosystems in Northern Europe.
