We are very proud to support the Solent Seagrass restoration, part of Solent Seascape Project.
From the team at Calshot - Anton, Ben, Zofia, Ellie and Jack all volunteer with the Solent Seagrass Project run by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. The tasks were varied and involved collecting seagrass seeds last December, educating others, joining on intertidal surveys, learning to be survey leaders themselves and planting new seagrass meadows, one of those meadows is even at Calshot!
In just one weekend, the team of 17 volunteers planted 56600 seagrass seeds at Calshot! 😍🌱🥳
