Ocean Rewilding: England’s biggest seagrass restoration undertaking

According to experts, this would be a miracle of the underwater world, considering that seagrass isolates carbon 35 times faster than a rainforest. It also provides a haven for various marine creatures on Earth – enigmatic seahorses are among those found sheltering in the swinging leaves. In recent times the UK’s seagrass beds have disappeared at a staggering rate. According to some estimates, the country has lost more than 90 percent of them in the last century. Therefore, this project estimates that it could provide habitat for 160,000 fish, including seahorses and 200 million invertebrates. It is also expected to provide a habitat for many of the species we eat, such as cod, plaice, and haddock.
