  • A sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) off Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Sunflower stars experienced a more than 90% mortality rate from sea star wasting disease which emerged in 2013. Urchins, a prey item of the sunflower star, have since proliferated which has lead to major decreases in kelp cover. Kelp is a carbon sink.

  • 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.
