Restoring Meadow, Marsh, and Reef (ReMeMaRe) Conference 2025
Scarborough, 9-10th July 2025
Building on the success of last year's event we returned to the beautiful coastal town of Scarborough to host this year’s event on 9-10th July.
The six themes of the conference were:
- Source to Sea
- Cultural Heritage,
- Restoring Together: Empowering Communities,
- Restoration Science,
- Restoration in Action,
- Valuing Restoration.
As well as the individual themes we had an overarching theme to explore. We heard from projects and partnerships which connect the importance of restoration to the growth of the economy, as well as to people.
The conference brought together restoration practitioners, government bodies, environmental non-governmental organisations (eNGOs), industry and businesses, with a shared vision to restore our estuarine, coastal and marine environment. This is an energetic space to exchange knowledge and discuss the latest developments in coastal restoration science, practice and policy.
Previous ReMeMaRe Conference in 2024
2024's sell-out event was incredibly popular, attracting 300 people (17% increase from 2023), over 200 of which hadn’t attended previously! There were representatives from over 100 organisations, including restoration practitioners, Government bodies, environmental Non-Governmental Organisations, academic institutions, marine industries and businesses from across the United Kingdom (and beyond). We were supported by a record number of 16 sponsors, who were able to engage with delegates throughout the conference within an exhibition space, and we were joined by a sketch artist who brought an alternative view on each session.
The conference recordings can be found here, and copies of presentations and posters are available here.
