collaboration between Project Seagrass, Swansea University and WWF

This month YFS supported a collaboration between Project Seagrass, Swansea University and WWF, known as Seagrass Ocean Rescue. Over the last week Project Seagrass began a series of planting method trials in the intertidal zone across three different locations in the Solent: Priory Bay, Thorness and Beaulieu. To date, they have trialled the use of hessian bags, hessian seed ‘socks’ and Dispenser Injection Seeding (DIS), with hopes to trial more methods in the future. The trials aim to identify the most successful and efficient planting methods to enable increased germination survival in future restoration projects and to help further our understanding of restoration methods in a UK-context.
