  • Professor Robert "JJ" Orth shows off a bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) he found while collecting eelgrass (Zostera marina), a type of seagrass, seeds for the world's largest seagrass restoration project.

  • 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.
