Following the success of aquatic angiosperm transplants in the Venice Lagoon achieved through the Life SeResto project (LIFE12 NAT/IT/000331) which, 10 years after the initial interventions, led to the colonization of approx. 20 km² of lagoon bottom with Zostera marina Linnaeus, Nanozostera noltei Hornemann Tomlinson & Posluszny, and Ruppia cirrhosa (Petagna) Grande, a similar environmental restoration effort was proposed for some lagoons in the Po Delta (Barbamarco, Caleri, Goro) and for the Fattibello pond in the Comacchio Valleys under the Transfer project (LIFE19 NAT/IT/000264).
