The report “Investment Opportunities in Seagrass Restoration”, published under the Interreg Euro-MED ARTEMIS project, is the first to explore how market-based instruments can support the financing of seagrass restoration and conservation in the Mediterranean, one of the region’s most valuable yet underestimated ecosystems.
Developed by Ecoacsa and EY Denkstatt Bulgaria, with contributions from Plan Bleu, The Green Tank, and all ARTEMIS partners, the report highlights the potential of innovative financial tools such as blue carbon credits, biodiversity credits, and payments for ecosystem services (PES).
By placing Posidonia seagrass meadows at the heart of the Mediterranean blue economy, the report introduces a new nature-based investment approach, linking ecological restoration with the tangible economic value of marine ecosystems.
