RECOVER addresses the question of how cross-border measures between Denmark and Germany can be used to improve the ecological status of the western Baltic Sea and strengthen its resilience to climate change.

The focus is on developing a digital management system that uses microalgae as sensitive bioindicators to provide real-time information on the state of the sea, thereby facilitating decision-making. Furthermore, new technologies and AI-supported applications are intended to contribute to the analysis of environmental data and enable the creation of a digital twin of the south-western Baltic Sea.

The aim is to develop well-founded options for effective protection and restoration measures that are both ecologically sound and socially acceptable. Through the close involvement of politics, agriculture, fisheries, local authorities and citizens, the project makes an important contribution to the implementation of the EU’s nature conservation and restoration targets and to strengthening sustainable climate protection in the region.

RECOVER is funded by the European Union under the Interreg 6a Deutschland-Danmark programme.

Project duration: 01.10.2025 bis 30.09.2028
