Sea rewilding
Environmental conservation activity / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sea rewilding (also known as marine rewilding) is an area of environmental conservation activity which focuses on rewilding, restoring ocean life and returning seas to a more natural state. Sea rewilding projects operate around the world, working to repopulate a wide range of organisms, including giant clams, sharks, skates, sea sturgeons, and many other species.[2] Rewilding marine and coastal ecosystems offer potential ways to mitigate climate change and sequester carbon.[3][4] Sea rewilding projects are currently less common than those focusing on rewilding land, and seas are under increasing stress from the blue economy – commercial activities which further stress the marine environment.[5] Rewilding projects held near coastal communities can economically benefit local businesses as well as individuals and communities a whole.[6]
