Seagrass restoration in a governance vacuum: the limits of civil society-led action
Seagrass restoration is gaining recognition as a vital element of coastal ecosystem recovery, yet scaling these efforts beyond localized projects requires robust governance. This perspective analyzes Northern Ireland’s experience, demonstrating how non-governmental organizations, researchers, and communities sustained restoration momentum amidst prolonged political instability. While these civil society initiatives built critical foundations—generating evidence and piloting interventions—coordinated, large-scale restoration remained limited by the absence of governmental support, strategic funding, and regulatory frameworks. Ultimately, effective seagrass recovery necessitates government enablement.
