Its been a long time in the making, but I'm thrilled to see our 'Restoring our Seascapes' report finally out. Its been wonderful to work with such expertise and passion to bring this vision to life. Angus Garbutt, Graham J C Underwood, Philine zu Ermgassen, Alison Debney, Céline Gamble, Aisling McGarrigle and many more 😍 #restorationgeneration #biodiversity #seascapes #climate #SDGs UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration The supporting scientific evidence paper is accepted (revisions pending) in npj Ocean Sustainability special edition, out later this year.
🚨 Over recent centuries we have lost large areas of the habitats that make up the seascape; including up to 92% per cent of seagrass meadows, 85% of saltmarsh habitats and 95% of native oyster reefs. This severe loss has left our coastal ecosystems fragmented and vulnerable to further degradation. To deliver a thriving healthy ocean, we need to apply the concept of landscape ecology, which has taken off across terrestrial restoration initiatives, and apply it to the nascent field of seascape scale restoration within our coastal habitats. Our new report, “Restoring our Seascapes: evidence and actions for coastal habitat restoration at scale” presents a series of recommendations to enable and accelerate whole scale seascape restoration and follows findings from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) symposium on ‘Ecological connectivity across temperate coastal habitats’ and is written in collaboration with the UK UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), University of Essex, University of Portsmouth and Zoological Society of London (ZSL). The time to restore Britain's 12,500km of coastline and support our marine environments to thrive once more is now Read the full report 👉 https://lnkd.in/eTCGDyda Discover our three policy recommendations 👇 Thanks to Platform Earth for supporting this report. #Restoration #MarineRestoration #Policy #Seascape #NatureRecovery Aisling McGarrigle, Jennifer Murray, Dan Crockett, Prof Joanne Preston, Angus Garbutt, Graham J C Underwood

This useful report was published by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) late last year: "Accelerating Adaptation - The promise and limitations of Nature-based Solutions in the race to adapt to increasing floods and droughts". The report outlines and analyzes nine specific Nature-based Solutions – targeted habitat protection, artificial wetlands, native revegetation, wetland restoration, floodplain and river restoration, riverbank revegetation, agricultural best management practices (including in-field water harvesting), rangeland best management practices, and forestry best management practices. https://lnkd.in/d43TKRNM

#BeforeandAfter with Restor Taman Kehati Kiarapayung is one of the model biodiversity parks in West Java, Indonesia. With an area of 15 hectares, 137 plants and fauna can be found, including insects, reptiles, mammals, and aves. It has become a top-spot research site for universities at home and abroad. Managed by DLH Jabar, the work resulted in an award as the best Kehati Park Manager from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry at the commemoration of National Nature Conservation Day 2017.
