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!

In this week’s #LifeSolved we catch up with Maggie Hodge RRC and Laura Fantuzzi who are gathering insights into the state of our ocean while taking part in the GB ROW CHALLENGE.

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔

📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that.

Fascinating visit with Rewilding Britain colleagues to Ambios Ltd in #Devon who are helping to train the next generation of conservationists on a small scale #rewilding and nature friendly farming site. Several rewilding projects now employ people who have been through their doors.

On the IoW this weekend with EmmaAliceW and Hayley Craig for the Solent Seascape Project collecting our pre #restoration #carbon cores at Priory Bay for the #seagrass sites 🥳👩‍🔬🌎❤️

Great to hear an update yesterday at Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab from the wonderful Prof Joanne Preston - Coastal Restoration Lab

Jo spoke about the pioneering #seascape restoration work being done in the Solent.

I encourage everyone to follow the progress of this project at Solent Seascape Project.

It World Seagrass Day, learn how seagrass helps the fight against climate change 🐚

We support Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust in their Solent Restoration project. 🌊 Our combined work includes improving habitats for coastal wildlife and helping educate about life in and around the Solent.

#WorldSeagrassDay 🌱 The Isle of Wight’s seagrass meadows are a visually stunning and vital habitat supporting a rich marine #biodiversity ! This is a short cinematic sequence of life in our island’s Solent #seagrass from catsharks and cuttlefish to rays and stalked jellyfish!

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 🌱🌊

THREE humpback off Pendennis Point in Falmouth this evening, the first expertly found by Luke Stoppard and photographed by Ben Hancock-Smith breaching here. 350+ people, largely students at the point within 90 mins of it being found 🤯

If you're having a challenging day, why not take a magical plunge into our nursery ponds? We've recently counted them and found 6005 shoots (with the outside ponds yet to be counted). For more details, click on the following link - buff.ly/3tPEJBd
