SeaForest LIFE final conference
FINAL CONFERENCE SEAFOREST LIFE – “THE FORESTS OF THE SEA”
On 28 November 2025, at the ISPRA headquarters in Rome, the final conference of the LIFE SeaForest project will take place.
The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., followed by a lunch offered to participants.
It will also be possible to attend the conference online, with simultaneous Italian-English translation available.
The conference represents an important occasion for international exchange and dissemination of the project results, highlighting LIFE SeaForest’s tangible contribution to the protection of the Mediterranean’s natural capital and the enhancement of the priority marine habitat 1120*.
The meeting will be structured in three thematic sessions:
I) Tools for the Conservation of Habitat H1120*: presentation of the experiences carried out in the three Italian National Parks involved in the project, and an in-depth look at the PNRR Marine Ecosystem Restoration initiative, which includes actions for the restoration and protection of marine habitats, strengthening the national monitoring system, and mapping coastal and marine habitats of conservation interest in Italian waters.
II) Conservation and Restoration: focus on the health status of seagrass meadows, with a presentation of the reforestation techniques tested by LIFE SeaForest and the experiences of the BlueForest project.
III) Blue Carbon in Europe: roundtable discussion with experts and institutional representatives from Italy, Spain, Belgium, and France, dedicated to European perspectives on enhancing blue carbon. The discussion will be introduced by the presentation of the LIFE SeaForest experience on estimating carbon sinks for the priority habitat 1120* (SeaForest Standard), followed by an overview of the results and methodologies developed within the LIFE Blue Nature project, dedicated to enhancing ecosystem services and certifying blue carbon.
