Last week the Solent Seagrass Champion volunteers sorted & counted a grand total of 3,300 seeds for @HantsIWWildlife! The seeds are stored in a chilling system over the winter months to be planted in Spring, with better conditions for seedling growth🌱

A beautiful morning in Langstone Harbour. This is the view clear across the harbour from Southmoor Lane in Havant, over the saltmarsh islands of the @RSPBEngland reserve & onto Eastney (incuding @UoPMarineBiol). Beyond the Solent, in the background, the Isle of Wight rises.
