The Sea Club Rush (Bolboschoenus maritimus) root system showing why it does such a good job of trapping sediment and resisting the pull of the tide.
The contour lines of the container it was growing in are still retained when it is lifted out.

One of the less glamorous* jobs we do to help restore saltmarsh is wash the minimal plastic polypots we use to grow the cuttings on.
There were plenty to wash after planting nearly 4000 plants earlier in the year.
After washing we can reuse them for the next set of cuttings.
*yes, planting saltmarsh in the mud is glamorous- for a certain value of glamor

The other week we were up in Dornoch, working with some Dornoch Academy S1 and S3 classes.
They did great a great job of taking cuttings and potting them on, now we'll have more plants for saltmarsh restoration in Dornoch firth.

As promised, here's the answer.

There were a few new follows on Mastodon over the course of the poll but LinkedIn is still ahead.

Tide coming in and tide out at one of our saltmarsh restoration sites on the Eden.
The Saltmarsh plants are adapted to this twice daily tidal influx.
The recent planting are establishing and still hard to see against the sand behind the fences, they are fully submerged as the tide comes in.

We were planting last week, getting the last of this year's polytunnel grown stock out into the Eden Estuary- Sea Club rush and saltmarsh grass.
Another two days with fabulous volunteers, we couldn't do it without them.

The tides were good for planting on the Eden estuary this week, and we had some lovely volunteers to help us. This was the Tuesday group.
