REBORN is a transnational project funded by the Interreg North-West Europe Programme (Interreg NWE), running from 2026 to 2029. The project brings together 11 partners from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Ireland and Germany.

​

REBORN aims to unlock large-scale seagrass restoration in North-West Europe as a Blue-Green Infrastructure and natural capital opportunity. It will test a novel restoration model across approximately 15 hectares, support its potential uptake to up to 50,000 hectares, and strengthen long-term governance and policy frameworks. The project will also build the capacity of 40 organisations and engage a broad multi-actor community to act as seagrass restoration ambassadors.

​

REBORN has a total budget of €4.9 million, including €2.9 million in financial support from the Interreg North-West Europe Programme.

​

Natural Capital Ireland will support project communication, training course development, and the integration of REBORN’s work into the natural capital approach and accounting methodologies.
