It only takes a minute, it's interesting, open and free :-)

Our oceans and seas play an indispensable role in climate change 
mitigation and adaptation. However, deterioration of the marine and 
coastal environment is reducing its ability to do so.

Implementing measures that restore the natural capacity of the 
environment to mitigate and adapt to climate change can help "turn the 
tide". Restoring our marine environment and improving its biodiversity 
is imperative if we want to maintain all the ecosystem services it has 
to offer.
In this webinar, we will look at nature restoration projects in two 
Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas. We will discover how different 
environmental factors are inventoried and how natural conditions are 
restored across the Mediterranean. The webinar will address the 
challenges and solutions of using nature restoration for climate change 
mitigation and adaptation.

Webinar Programme

Welcome and Introduction to the webinar
By Isa Vroom, EUROPARC Policy Assistant.

LIFE ADAPTABLUES project: Adaptation to climate change through 
management and restoration of European estuarine ecosystems
By Inés Mazarrasa - Researcherat the Environmental Hydraulics 
Insititute, IHCantabria, of the Universidad de Cantabria (Spain).

The project aims to support the conservation and restoration of 
estuarine ecosystems in Europe as a strategy to enhance adaptation to 
climate change in coastal areas of the Atlantic coast. To do so, they 
are developing technical methodologies and tools to estimate coastal 
protection and carbon sequestration services provided by estuarine 
habitats across five different estuaries in Europe, including an 
inventory of carbon deposits and burial rates. The project includes the 
restoration of a saltmarsh in Portugal.

ROC-POPLife and ReLife
By Lorenzo Merotto - Marine Biologist.

ROC-POPLife is a project aimed to trigger the restoration and growth of 
the Cystoseira, a type of brown algae. Cystoseira plays a key role in 
marine conservation supporting biodiversity, food webs, and 
sequestrating large amount of CO2. ROC-POPLife has strong links with the 
ReLife project, which aims to bring back the Patella ferruginaea, a 
mollusk species. Lorenzo will speak about the impacts of both these 
projects.

Get to know the speakers

Inés Mazarrasa
Inés has a PhD in Marine Ecology. She works as a researcher at the 
Environmental Hydraulics Insititute, IHCantabria, of the Universidad de 
Cantabria (Spain). Her research focuses on assessing the capacity of 
coastal ecosystems (mainly seagrass meadows and saltmarshes) to act as 
carbon sinks and the potential of their restoration and conservation for 
Climate Chang mitigation.

Lorenzo Merotto
Lorenzo is a marine biologist. Since 2017 he has been working for 
Portofino Marine Protected Area as a Science Technician. His work is 
focused on EU projects, both from the technical and administrative point 
of view. He works on different climate change projects such as Interreg 
Med MPAdapt, Interreg Med MPEngage and FutureMares. He also carries out 
field work on monitoring and community engagement.
