Municipalities and organizations can now apply for up to DKK 12 million in support for projects that will restore marine nature in Danish waters. The new pool of DKK 43.5 million has been opened in collaboration between the Marine Nature Foundation and the Danish Nature Foundation and has a special focus on areas such as Sejerø Bay, Samsø Belt, the South Funen Archipelago and the Great Belt.
The funds can be used for specific initiatives such as the restoration of rocky reefs, mussel beds and eelgrass, which are key habitats for fish and marine mammals. The pool is financed with DKK 29 million from the parties behind the Marine Nature Foundation and an additional DKK 14.5 million from the Danish Nature Foundation. The application round runs in 2025 and is aimed at municipalities, municipal communities and private organizations.
Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke calls the fund “an important step for the restoration of biodiversity in our inland waters”, while Bengt Holst, chairman of the Nature Foundation, highlights the need to strengthen marine nature in parallel with efforts on land.
