  • How do you restore 9000 acres of seagrass? One handful at a time. A volunteer with The Nature Conservancy grabs a handful of eelgrass (Zostera marina) flowering shoots, containing seeds. The seeds will be used to contribute to the world's largest seagrass restoration project off Virginia's East Coast.<br />
<br />
Seagrass sequesters carbon more efficiently than rainforests and this technique is being repeated now off the coast of the United Kingdom. These restorations could really help in our fight against climate change.<br />
<br />
Seagrass in the area was wiped out by disease, bottom trawling and a hurricane in 1933, killing a major scallop fishery in the process. In the early 2000's Dr. Robert J. Orth started the restoration project with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. To date, the project has restored over 9000 acres of seagrass meadows. The benefits are already showing and a recreational scallop fishery may be in the near future.

  • Heriberto Martir from the University of Puerto Rico's "Vida Marina" inspects his work. Wooden steaks from discarded pallets placed in a matrix change wind patterns to build up sand dunes along the north coast of Puerto Rico. "Vida Marina"  focuses on the management and ecological restoration and conservation of coastal ecosystems, endemic plants and marine turtle species. This project aims to restore sand dunes for coastal protection during storms, nesting sea turtles and other benefits. Image release available.

  • Luis D. Amayo from the University of Puerto Rico's Vida Marina program constructs an elevated walkway to help built up the sand dunes for coastal protection and nesting sea turtles along the north coast of Puerto Rico. As people walk over the same part of a sand dune it wears away the dune creating weaknesses for large waves to break through. "Vida Marina"  focuses on the management, ecological restoration and conservation of coastal ecosystems, endemic plants and marine turtle species. Image release available.
