Happy World Seagrass Day!
Seagrass are beautiful! Also of great importance for our coastal ecosystems and for mitigating climate change, but threatened by human activities. The UN has designated March 1st as #worldseagrassday!

Successful sand-capping and #eelgrass restoration in NW #Sweden. Last spring we placed 8000 ton of sand on 1 ha seafloor to reduce sediment resuspension, and planted 80 000 shoots of eelgrass. Surveys last weeks showed great survival and growth with almost 900 000 shoots!
