About the project
Shallow lake restoration remains a highly topical issue as no systematic lake restoration has taken place in the Baltic states. In parallel to the strong local interest in the restoration of these ecologically and socio-economically important freshwater ecosystems protection and restoration of aquatic resources and their ecosystem services is one of the nearest future development needs being highlighted by Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and prioritized in European Green Deal call area 7: Restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The aim of the current project is to involve researchers from all partner institutions in preparing a joint application on the overreaching topic of lake restoration planning and practical testing.
