Scotland’s most comprehensive seagrass planting programme has been launched to help restore nature in seas around the country.

The £2.4 million project aims to plant 14 hectares of seagrass, described as a wonder plant, 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 with an estimated 7% of seagrass meadows being lost every year.
