Lessons learnt from seagrass restoration in Wales

[@ianmackinlay1894]

If sea grass wanted to grow where they are planting it, it would be groweing there already.

in an ideal world, you're right. But loss has been so large that it cant recover easily.

This isn't true - 92% of UK seagrass meadows have been lost since the 1930's due to a variety of impacts (such as pollution from industry, mining and farming, destructive fishing practices such as dredging and bottom trawling and coastal development). Seagrass would be MUCH more widespread and common around the UK coastline if it wasn't due to these human impacts, so in turn we should be obligated to do something to reverse this.

I remember volunteering to fill & tie seed bags to rope at Swansea uni a couple of years ago, and would be happy to do do so again! Project Seagrass is a pioneering project, and I'm sure will eventually make a huge positive contribution to the UK's marine environment. It's vital work, congratulations on your achievemnts so far!
