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!

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!

15 mins shore time today and removed two drills (!) batteries and powered devices, sealant and 2 spoons! 'Over the side' may be over but accidents still happen, and that's a lot of chemistry in the marine environment. And losing the corkscrew is a major disaster! Solent Seascape Project

Had a great time helping out on the The Green Blue stand today!

Talking to sailors and families about our amazing #seagrass habitats and the measures boaters can adopt to ease pressures 🌱🌊

As I'm very much an invertebrates/microscopy kind of guy, I've fairly successfully avoided the dark and obsessive perils of ornithology all my life. So imagine my shock, today, when I realised that I'd just stood and counted 70 dark-bellied Brent geese on Stoke Lake, Gosport!

Me and my ex-dolphin friend are both officially knackered after our day on the The Green Blue
stand at the #RYADinghyandWatersportsShow . But we have talked #seagrass #anchoring #mooring and #seagrass restoration to some amazing visitors! #SaveOurSeabed LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust Marine

Very excited to be spending the day on the The Green Blue stand at the #RYADinghyandWatersportsShow to spread the word on how to look after our #seagrass meadows and #SaveOurSeabed LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES The Wildlife Trusts

Today at the Project Seagrass nursery; Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust Marine and University of Portsmouth visited us, and we shared all things #seagrassseeds - even managed to get Tim Ferrero behind the microscope to revisit his #meiofauna days 🔬🌱

An excellent presentation from Gemma Harper #JNCC this morning at #CoastalFutures24 Though provoking, detailed, inspiring, a call to action and a glimmer of hope despite the parlous state of our #ocean . You could've heard a pin drop! @CF_conf

Breakfast in Berkley Square this morning (no nightingale) before heading off the the #RoyalInstitute for Ocean & Coastal Futures (OCF) CoastalFutures. An interesting and absorbing day ahead!

Cuttlefish in the late Cretaceous era preferred seagrass as their home. They thrived in seagrass meadows during the Econe period, finding food, shelter, and a place to breed. Preserving these seagrass habitats is crucial for cuttlefish conservation worldwide.

Happy New Year to all my lovely followers. First 2024 #Solent shoreline stroll today and still green #seagrass being washed up! Resolutions: 1 - more posts, 2 - get to 500 followers (4 more!).

An epic day yesterday at UoP Marine Biology as 20 of our inspirational #SolentSeagrassChampions picked through our rotting-out mulch and found an extra 3000 seed for our #SolentSeagrassRestoration and #SolentSeascape projects!

An inspiring, informative and collaborative day at #UKSS23 , learning so much about #seagrass restoration, protection and management, with friends and colleagues, followed by dinner in front of the National Marine Aquarium Excellent!
