Flashback to 2018 and our two week/1,500 mile lap of Scotland’s Highlands and Islands. This shot on the Isle of Harris and Lewis (Harris specifically here) in the Outer Hebrides overlooking the beach at Sielebost.

Project to restore 'vital' #seagrass around #Scotland

March 1, 2025

"A £2.4m seagrass planting programme has been launched to help restore the plant in seas around the north of Scotland.

"The project aims to plant 14 hectares (34.6 acres) of seagrass, often described as a 'wonder plant' by conservationists, over the next three years.

"Seagrasses are often likened to rainforests because they provide food and shelter for thousands of species, but they have been declining globally since the 1930s.

"In the last century 92% of the plants have been lost from Britain's coasts and areas once covered by seagrass are now 'lifeless seabeds', according to research by University College London.

"The new initiative is a partnership between the Scottish Marine Environmental Enhancement Fund (#SMEEF) and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN).

"Grants have been awarded to four organisations that cover areas from #Shetland to the #Kintyre peninsula.

"These are #MossyEarth's #WilderFirths project (based around the Black Isle), Kintyre Coastal Network's East Kintyre Biosphere, Wester Ross Fisheries Trust's seagrass planting project and Restoring Shetland's Marlie Meadows - a project by the University of the #Highlands and Islands.

"Seagrass is home to a vast number of species, and is a food source for many others.

"It can purify water and slow down waves, protecting coastal areas from flooding as a result.

"The plant also takes in #CO2, making it useful in tackling #ClimateChange.

"The partnership said Scottish seas are a special place for marine habitats like seagrass, with the country's coasts stretching 18,000km (11,185 miles) and containing 8,000 species or more."

On the train this morning, heading to Glasgow. The view on the run around the Fife coast as the sun was rising just absolutely set me off.
😭 🌅 🚊 Oof! I was gonna take a pic, but the train window was a bit grubby. Use your imagination. 😅

Important #folklore question: If you are at the beach, and see a line of deer hoofprints coming out of the water and heading towards the woods, but with no corresponding prints in the other direction... is that good?
