Our story

The vital role seagrass meadows play in the Mediterranean ecosystem raised the attention of scientists as they are essential for carbon sequestration, coastal protection, and marine biodiversity. However, due to human activities and environmental changes, seagrass meadows have been declining .

Early restoration projects showed promise, but it became clear that a more coordinated, large-scale approach was needed. Thus, the ARTEMIS project was conceived. With, 10 dedicated partners from 5 European countries, have worked tirelessly to develop this ambitious project. Their goal has been to restore seagrass meadows and more importantly to develop innovative solutions and integrate ecosystem service values into policies to ensure the long-term conservation of seagrass meadows.
