Trichonis Lake
OUR MISSION
ProCleanLakes aims to develop an Action Plan and Guidelines for the long-term restoration and protection of European Natural Lakes (ENL) ecosystems and biodiversities.
ProCleanLakes introduces a dynamic and adaptable approach emphasizing learning through observation and practical application. A vital aspect of this Project will be the ongoing dialogue between the scientific and social communities. Citizen input, including ideas and opinions on “how” and “who” should be involved and qualitative and quantitative improvements in the ENL ecosystem and biodiversity, will be crucial in developing the ENL Action Plan.
OUR PROJECT SITES
ProCleanLakes will implement restoration and protection solutions in three lakes in northern, eastern, and southern Europe, defined as Demonstration Sites (DS). Additionally, three more lakes, affected by pressures and stressors similar to DS, are involved in the project as Monitoring Sites (MS). Restoration and protection action were previously implemented in the MS.

The ProCleanLakes project hosted on November 2025 the 2nd Mission Lakes Webinar, part of a Europe-wide series bringing together experts, practitioners and stakeholders to share best practices and innovative solutions for lake restoration and protection. This event, jointly organised with EUROLakes, FutureLakes and the FERRO Project, focused on entrepreneurial interest in lake protection and restoration.
The #MeetTheProCleanLakesTeam campaign aims to spotlight the people behind the ProCleanLakes project—researchers, innovators, and collaborators working across Europe to restore and protect our freshwater ecosystems. Through short interviews, we share personal insights, motivations, and the unique roles each team member plays in driving forward sustainable water management solutions.
