Success for England’s largest seagrass restoration project

England’s largest seagrass restoration project has successfully restored eight hectares of seagrass in Plymouth Sound and the Solent Maritime. The five-year, £2.5 million project aimed to protect important seabed habitats and involved innovative methods. Techniques included ‘seed broadcasting’ with a special device and cultivating seedlings in a lab for replanting. A key factor in the project’s success was reducing damage from boat moorings by using eco-friendly options. This restoration work is crucial for marine ecosystems that scuba divers explore.
