The REST-COAST project proudly attended the 7th European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB), held from 17-21 June in Bologna, Italy. The project was showcased at a joint exhibition stand alongside other Horizon projects, SpongeBoost and BioAgora, and the science communication leader, Pensoft Publishers. 

At the booth, delegates could explore various project outputs produced within REST-COAST, SpongeBoost, and BioAgora. Each of these initiatives has been selected by the European Commission to work on the mitigation of biodiversity decline, while aiming for sustainable ecosystems throughout European hot-spots. 

Attendees had the opportunity to engage with project members, learn more about REST-COAST, and collect various informative materials, including pilot site fact sheets and brochures.
