The project group held a presentation about the restoration done in SeaMoreEco as well as took part to the poster session presenting the project and to gather feedback from the workshop participants on the restoration fact cards that SeaMoreEco is working on.

The workshop gave the project group great insight about what kind of marine restoration is being done in Finland at the moment.

Some discussion topics in the workshop were the EU restoration regulation, restoration of marine species (such as charophytes and seagrass) and nature types (such as lagoons) as well as monitoring methods before and after the restoration. In the workshop we also discussed about collaboration with landowners and other stakeholders.
