Overview: The SeaGarden project supports sustainable water management in coastal areas by advancing regenerative marine farming (RMF) to mitigate eutrophication across the South Baltic area.
Key objectives: Promoting RMF as a nature‑based solution for nutrient removal, enabling evidence‑based policy decisions, and fostering community‑driven sea‑farming practices adapted to local conditions.
Main activities: Conducting stakeholder mapping for community RMF; developing a digital decision‑support tool for site and species selection, nutrient‑removal assessment and procedural guidance; testing a low‑cost adaptable system unit and creating a mini‑farming kit with hardware and protocols for individual users; and establishing a cross‑border Project HUB for dissemination, training and capacity building.
Impact: Enhanced capacity for policy‑relevant decisions on water quality, scalable community RMF solutions, wider uptake of low‑cost farming systems, and a sustained cross‑border platform that supports regenerative marine farming and eutrophication mitigation in the South Baltic area.
