Seagrass restoration & research

The impact you will be making
The UK's seagrass habitats play an important role for both biodiversity and carbon storage. However research estimates that up to 92% of the UK's seagrass has been lost since 1936, and we must act now to restore these important ecosystems. Mapping existing seagrass meadows, researching how best to restore them, and replanting seagrass are all important steps you will help to fund through this project.

Why buy seagrass restoration?
Seagrass meadows provide vital habitat for thousands of marine species, acting as nurseries for fish and invertebrates while serving as feeding grounds for larger predators. They filter pollution from seawater, strengthen coastlines against erosion, and protect communities from storms. Despite covering just 0.1% of the seafloor, seagrass captures up to 18% of ocean carbon, making them crucial for marine biodiversity and climate action.
