The North Sea once looked very different – rich with mussel beds and oyster reefs. Much of that landscape has since disappeared, with nature now under increasing pressure from intensive use, disease and climate change.
The Natuurversterking Noordzee programme is taking action to change that. This initiative goes beyond existing policy to strengthen biodiversity and restore balance between people and nature at sea.
The approach is hands on with learning by doing: testing in practice, developing new methods and learning together with partners. By combining innovation, research and collaboration, we’re working towards a North Sea where nature can thrive alongside sustainable use.
At EcoShape, we’re proud to contribute as a partner and to bring in our Building with Nature perspective.
