The underwater harvest hoping for a bumper crop

Core point

Volunteers gathered at Calshot Beach to collect seagrass seeds during a low tide. Seagrass meadows are crucial for absorbing carbon dioxide and providing habitat for marine species. The UK has lost over 90% of its seagrass meadows in the past century due to various environmental pressures. The collected seeds will be used to help recreate seagrass meadows in depleted areas.
