Last week we were out testing two novel methods of seed planting using towed sleds. The first may be recognised from research by Orth et al in 2009, a sled designed to inject Seagrass seeds in an gelatin solution which we modified to work using a peristaltic pump.

The second sled was designed by myself to plant hemp bags containing sand and Seagrass seed, fed by pipe from the vessel.

Both systems worked well and we planted 50,000 seeds, not bad for their first time getting wet in the UK.

Can't let a year go by without a nice seagrass seed separation video, this year in the bespoke Project Seagrass x Swansea University separator! Now ready to be packed up for use by our Scottish Projects

Something a little bit different from August. The SORUP project looking at ways to expand seed collection using a bespoke harvester. This device trims the top of the meadow collecting seeds with minimal damage and maximum yield for

Another fantastic with Fieldwork Company in North Wales trialling out upscaled planting methods. Always a pleasure to work with the Dutch πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸŒ±

Great to have a 12 strong team from our funders ⁦Former NatureScot account⁩ help us with native oyster grading, and seagrass seed processing today. We released more oysters onto the seabed and extracted another 20,000 seed - soon to be planted on the seabed.

This month I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jarvis Lab and her team. Post COVID it was a pleasure to meet in person, share seagrass stories and see your seagrass meadows, thank you for having me 😁😁
