In southern Norway, seagrass beds are being restored by planting juvenile plants in custom made physical constructions. At the Helgeland coast (a protected UNESCO World Heritage site in mid Norway) a restoration project is currently ongoing to reestablish kelp forests in areas where pronounced grazing pressure from sea urchins and eutrophication have expelled these key ecosystems (http://www.merces-project.eu/). Another parallel methodology is community based monitoring (CBM), which places emphasis on the needs of local communities (Conrad & Hilchey, 2011; Tunon, Kvamstrom, & Maimer, 2015).
