On Monday we battled wind and a tide that never went out properly, and yesterday we had wind and rain, but our #SolentSeagrassChampions still managed to plant two seagrass seed plots at #Calshot and kept smiling right to the end! Solent Seascape Project Fingers crossed for seedlings!

How the wind blew! But undeterred, our wonderful #SolentSeagrassChampions put in a great shift, planting seagrass seed for our #SolentSeagrassRestoration project at Seaview, IoW on Tuesday - and the sun shone for us! BoskalisWestminster FatFace Foundation UoP Marine Biology IOWDistillery

Last month, our marine team were out completing the first seagrass surveys of 2024. They recorded positive signs of growth of Zostera noltei and Zostera marina. The meadows will be monitored throughout the Spring to help inform our next phase of seagrass restoration work 🌱

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at

A very special morning at Calshot! #seagrass seed coming along nicely and the meadow looking very green. We'll be collecting soon! Also some impressive areas of Lanice conchilega (sand mason) reef! Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust Marine Solent Seascape Project UoP Marine Biology
