FutureLakes at SEFS14 – Bolu, Turkey, 21–24 July 2025
We had a fantastic joint session on Restoring Freshwater Ecosystems at the 14th Symposium for European Freshwater Sciences ( #SEFS14), bringing together the MERLIN and FutureLakes projects. This collaboration is helping shape a shared vision for freshwater restoration across Europe. FutureLakes is building on MERLIN’s frameworks for nature restoration planning and impact monitoring, and together we’re co-developing a Blueprint for successful Transformative Change.
Highlights from the session included insightful talks by:
-
Ifigenia on Lake Karla: Resilience and Future Directions
-
Renata on Restoration of a Degraded Lake Complex, Kartuzy Lakes, Poland
-
Laurence on Delivering Successful and Sustainable Freshwater Restoration
We’re also excited to see our work featured in a recent article on the Mission Ocean & Waters Service Portal:
