Now that spring has finally arrived on the west coast of Scotland the team have been in full swing in the water on seagrass operations.

So far, we have transplanted around 3,500 seagrass shoots. This is a step towards the anticipated 24,000 total for 2026. This year's planting should cover a total area of just under half a hectare (4,800 square meters), up from last year's total of 0.3 hectares, and comprises several trials, including new sites outside Loch Craignish.

We're super excited to be working together with communities in Knapdale and Oban to investigate whether the successes that we've had in Loch Craignish can be replicated elsewhere - potentially a significant step towards scaling up seagrass restoration in Scotland.
