April 20, 2026 – April 22, 2026
ICES invites you to participate in the Workshop to Identify Indicators to track nature restoration across the Greater North Sea Basin (WKRestore_GNS).
The meeting will take place from April 20-22 and will build on results from an ICES data call on indicators for marine restoration and preparatory work, including a comprehensive list of habitats and species relevant to restoration efforts.
The objective is to identify indicators that are, and could be, applied consistently across the Greater North Sea Basin.
WKRestore_GNS is set as a response to a request from the Greater North Sea Basin Initiative (GNSBI) to ICES to provide a scientific basis for a common, sea basin approach to track progress towards nature restoration targets. The work aims at making the best use of existing indicators, avoid duplication of effort and maximize efficient regional coordination.
