The underwater harvest hoping for a bumper crop
Volunteers collected seagrass seeds during an unusually low tide at Calshot Beach to aid in the restoration of seagrass meadows, which are vital for absorbing carbon dioxide and supporting marine life. The UK has lost over 90% of its seagrass meadows in the last century due to disease, disturbance, and pollution. The collected seeds will be used to replant and rebuild these important ecosystems. The effort highlights community involvement in environmental conservation and the potential of seagrass to combat climate change.
