On Monday 17th June 2024, EMB hosted a Brown Bag Lunch on the topic of ‘Marine Habitat Mapping to meet conservation and restoration objectives’. This was the official launch event for the EMB Future Science Brief No. 11 on ‘Marine Habitat Mapping’ which highlights science and policy needs and recommendations to advance marine habitat mapping in order to fulfil European and international objectives on biodiversity, conservation and restoration. The Chairs of the the Working Group, Simonetta Fraschetti (University of Naples Federico II & Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (SZN), Italy) and James Strong (National Oceanography Centre (NOC), UK), presented the key messages from the document and its recommendations, with a specific focus on links to the proposed Nature Restoration Law, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Habitats and Birds Directives.
