Restoring Meadow, Marsh and Reef (ReMeMaRe) (pronounced “re-memory”), is an ambitious habitat restoration initiative, so called, as it aims to address baseline shift and reverse centuries of decline of three of our priority estuarine and coastal habitats, seagrass meadows, saltmarshes and European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs.
Our new 'Postcards from our coast' is here! It's a celebration of what we’ve achieved in partnership over 2025/2026, and full of great project case studies. Click on the image below to view.
Vision and Mission
The ReMeMaRe Vision is for restored estuarine and coastal habitats that benefit people and nature.
The ReMeMaRe Mission is to restore at least 15% of our priority habitats along the English coast by 2043.
What this means in practice: We need to restore at least 55 km² of saltmarsh and 6 km² of seagrass meadows to achieve our mission. We have so few Native Oyster reefs left that we cannot give an area so instead, we are promoting restoration action in as many locations as feasible.
