Integrated and coordinated approaches for coral reefs and associated ecosystems (mangroves and seagrass beds) conservation, restoration, and climate mitigation and adaptation
Funds research and active restoration of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds as one connected system rather than separately.
Integrated and coordinated approaches for coral reefs and associated ecosystems (mangroves and seagrass beds) conservation, restoration, and climate mitigation and adaptation is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission, worth up to EUR 6 million per project, that funds research and active restoration of coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds as one connected s…
The European Commission wants research that treats coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds as ecologically connected systems, rather than the usual single-ecosystem approach, to understand how jointly protecting them improves conservation outcomes. Proposals should combine science with active restoration methods — coral cuttings, larval propagation, fish-recruitment techniques — and develop cost-effective monitoring using sensors, remote sensing or citizen-science data.
