  • Scientist Bo Lusk with The Nature Conservancy teaches a volunteer what to look for while collecting eelgrass (Zostera marina) seeds for a seagrass restoration project off Virginia, USA.

  • Volunteers with The Nature Conservancy collect eelgrass (Zostera marina) for the seeds once a year as part of a major seagrass restoration project off Virginia, USA.

  • A researcher with The Nature Conservancy adds eelgrass (Zostera marina) to a large vat where seagrass seeds will seperate from the leaves for later dispersal. This seagrass restoration project in Virginia, USA is the largest and most successful in the world.

  • Scientists with The Nature Conservancy use their bodies to stir eelgrass (Zostera marina) in large vats where seagrass seeds will seperate from the leaves for later dispersal. This seagrass restoration project in Virginia, USA is the largest and most successful in the world.

  • 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 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.
    Seagrass Restoration
  • 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. Seagrass disappeared from the area in the 1930's and with the seagrass went the scallop fishery, the largest in the USA at the time. Their re-emergence is considered a major conservation victory. Image made off Virginia, USA.

  • Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) propagules, the "seeds", become fully mature plants before dropping off the parent tree to drift away and establish a new tree. Image made in The Bahamas.

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 />
