Over two days the consortium combines working sessions with a visit to Kerteminde Seafarm, where mussel and seaweed cultivation are already under way. The Danish forerunner’s experience feeds directly into the design of the pilot Sea Gardens planned for Germany, Poland and Lithuania.https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-09-15-website-live/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0300https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-09-15-website-live/The SeaGarden website is now published at seagarden.ku.lt. The site sets out what regenerative marine farming is and why it matters for the South Baltic, introduces the six partners and the pilot Sea Gardens planned for Germany, Poland and Lithuania alongside the Danish forerunner farm, and explains how the work is organised across the four work packages. News and events are published as the project runs. The Knowledge Hub is where SeaGarden’s three flagship outputs will be published as they are completed: the Joint Framework Guidance, the Decision-Support Toolbox and the Technical Toolkit for Practitioners.https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-09-15-kerteminde-kickoff-part-2/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0300https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-09-15-kerteminde-kickoff-part-2/The SeaGarden consortium meets in Kerteminde, Denmark, on 23–24 September 2026 for the second part of the project kick-off. It is the first time the partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark come together in person, after the online kick-off in June. The two days pair working sessions with time on the water. Day one covers good practices for implementing community-driven regenerative marine farms — methodologies, site selection and monitoring. Day two turns to policy integration, guidance and knowledge infrastructure, and the co-design of the project’s Decision-Support Tool.https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-06-19-kickoff-meeting/Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0300https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-06-19-kickoff-meeting/The SeaGarden consortium met online on 19 June 2026 for the project’s official kick-off, three weeks after the project started on 1 June. Partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark used the session to confirm governance arrangements, walk through the work plan and agree the first activities of the 36-month project. Klaipeda University leads the project and coordinates WP1 Management & Coordination. The meeting confirmed the leadership of the three thematic work packages: Gdynia Maritime University leads WP2, building the technical knowledge base behind the Decision-Support Toolbox and Technical Toolkit; Alles Alge leads WP3, establishing the pilot Sea Gardens; and EUCC – The Coastal Union Germany leads WP4, which anchors long-term impact through the SeaGarden Knowledge Hub, capacity building and policy alignment.https://seagarden.ku.lt/events/2026-06-19-online-kickoff/Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0300https://seagarden.ku.lt/events/2026-06-19-online-kickoff/The SeaGarden consortium met online for the first part of the official project kick-off. The six partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark aligned on governance, the work plan and the first activities, following the project start on 1 June 2026. The meeting was held on Microsoft Teams. The kick-off continues in person with Part 2 in Kerteminde, Denmark, 23–24 September 2026.https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-06-01-seagarden-launches/Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0300https://seagarden.ku.lt/news/2026-06-01-seagarden-launches/The SeaGarden project officially started on 1 June 2026. Over the next three years, six partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark will develop and demonstrate community-led regenerative marine farming to cut nutrient pollution and restore the South Baltic Sea.https://seagarden.ku.lt/about/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://seagarden.ku.lt/about/SeaGarden’s main objective is to support sustainable water-management policy decisions in coastal areas through the advancement of regenerative marine farming (RMF) to mitigate eutrophication. The common challenge The South Baltic’s coastal waters are under pressure from nutrient pollution, unsustainable resource use and low-level cross-border governmental cooperation. SeaGarden drives a shift from fragmented, pilot-level initiatives to a coherent, cross-border approach where RMF is recognised, supported and applied in regional development and environmental policy.https://seagarden.ku.lt/accessibility/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://seagarden.ku.lt/accessibility/SeaGarden is committed to making this website accessible in line with WCAG 2.1 AA and EN 301 549, as required by Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
