Abstract [en]
The Handbook for restoration of eelgrass in Sweden was published in 2016 and was produced by researchers within the interdisciplinary research program Zorro at the University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland, commissioned by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. Since then, knowledge about eelgrass restoration has continued to evolve through restoration projects and method development carried out at several locations along the Swedish coast.
This report serves as a supplement to the handbook and presents new knowledge compiled from several restoration projects conducted within the Zorro research program in collaboration with the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland. It also includes more comprehensive guidance on sand capping of the seabed as a measure to enable restoration in environments where local sediment resuspension and turbidity hinder eelgrass growth.
