Maritime Restoration refers to the processes and practices aimed at recovering and rehabilitating marine and coastal ecosystems that have been degraded or damaged. This can involve the restoration of habitats such as coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes, which are critical for biodiversity, fish populations, and the overall health of marine environments. The objective of maritime restoration is to reestablish the natural functions, structures, and services of these ecosystems, thereby enhancing their resilience against threats such as climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Techniques used in maritime restoration may include habitat creation, replanting native species, removing invasive species, and implementing sustainable management practices. Effective maritime restoration contributes not only to ecological balance but also supports economic activities such as fisheries and tourism that depend on healthy marine environments.
