Today we call on Defra UK to clean up their act and properly enforce regulations to manage the health of our oceans. 🌊

Seagrass has the ability to sequester carbon more efficiently than terrestrial rainforests and could be a formidable solution in our fight against climate change.

BUT if we keep pouring 💩and goodness knows what else into our oceans the seagrass will start to EMIT carbon.🤦‍♀️

The perfect book to celebrate the adoption of the #NatureRestorationLaw 🪸

… and a kind reminder that when it comes to restoration, nature knows best.

Having Blue Marine Foundation lead this project means we have comms and impact baked in from its inception. Lovely to hear from Gail Fordham Gabriella Gilkes and Jo Coumbe about how our findings are being relayed to the wider world and how they can be used to influence policy.
