Planning marine and coastal restoration projects

Our guidance on planning marine and coastal restoration projects supports anyone developing restoration projects.

This guidance covers three habitat types: native oysters, seagrass and saltmarsh. It also provides a guide for other habitats or species, as the principles will be similar.

Using it will help you understand the different criteria and requirements that you need to consider when planning your restoration project.

We encourage you to use this guidance with our restoration project checklist.

Using the guidance will:

• help you get initial advice from us
• guide you through the criteria you should think about for your project
• help you prepare information you may be asked for by regulators and other interested parties
