🌊 Heading next week to London for Seascape Symposium II hosted by @zslofficial.bsky.social
Denmark’s sea faces big pressures: trawling, extraction, eutrophication. Cod stocks collapsed, eelgrass greatly reduced.
I’ll talk about seascape restoration in Denmark.

🌊Nature #restoration is a beacon of hope for the #BalticSea! Facing challenges like eutrophication and biodiversity loss, require collaborative efforts and initiatives. And these need to be scaled up! Explore our restoration map to learn more: wwfbaltic.org/projects/

Time to break with traditions - at least when it comes to #eel. Eels are critically endangered and should not be caught, sold or eaten - not even for #Christmas lunch. Farmed eel is also not an alternative because farmed eel also comes from wild stock. #CFP
