Torbay has about 52 hectares of the wetland habitat, external which is at risk due to leisure crafts causing damage while anchoring, the Wild Planet Trust said.

It has set up the Seagrass Champions project to raise awareness of the meadows and wants businesses to get involved.

The charity said seagrass meadows store more carbon per area than tropical rainforests, provide nursery grounds for commercial fish species, help prevent coastal erosion and support marine biodiversity.
