Active restoration
We lead and support marine habitat restoration projects in order to reach 2030 with the maximum possible number of hectares conserved or restored.
We do this using a science-based methodology, such as the one developed with IMEDEA-CSIC, and by seeking the application of innovative solutions.
Redeia has over 10 years of experience ensuring the good health of the ocean.
Leveraging our experience with Posidonia in the Balearic Islands, our biologists are selecting potential sites for future active restoration in the Mediterranean.
We will begin in the Valencia Region to leverage our experience with Posidonia oceanica, an endemic gem of the Mare Nostrum, but we will not stop there. This is just the first step that will cement a collaboration for the benefit of marine habitats. We will continue in the Atlantic, restoring gorgonian and macroalgae meadows alongside the Amicos Foundation and following scientific methodology.

Posidonia oceanica meadows harbour nearly 700 species – many of fishing interest – which find shelter and food among their leaves and rhizomes. Furthermore, they act as the first protective barrier for our coasts against erosion.
And, like other similar underwater meadows, they can store twice as much carbon as a temperate and tropical forest. In fact, it is estimated that all the underwater meadows on the planet sequester 10% of the annual carbon stored in the oceans.
We want to join forces to expand our reach
We collaborate on and support active restoration initiatives by other entities, such as that of our ally, the Ecomar Foundation, which has launched 'Posidonia Action' in the Valencia Region, a project to plant Posidonia meadows applying the method developed in the Pollença Marine Forest.
> Restauración pasiva
A través de la eliminación de barreras o tensiones que impiden la regeneración de los hábitat marinos. Lo haremos con aliados, socios y colaboradores que quieran contribuir a los objetivos de esta plataforma. Facilitaremos la colaboración pública y privada en la restauración del océano para ampliar el alcance potencial a otras especies y enclaves marinos.
> Proyectos de investigación
Fomentaremos el apoyo a instituciones científicas con las que desarrollaremos nuevas técnicas de restauración de hábitats marinos.
Promoveremos la difusión del conocimiento para multiplicar el impacto positivo.
> Divulgación científica
Promoveremos la difusión del conocimiento adquirido para poder multiplicar el impacto de la plataforma.
Hemos desarrollado con IMEDEA-CSIC una guía de plantado de posidonia que compartimos con la comunidad científica y con la sociedad en general.
