Following our kick of session at the end of October, it was great to connect with Collaborative members at the UK Seagrass Symposium in Cardiff last week.

The Scottish Seagrass Collaborative is a network shaped by its members, with sessions facilitated by Fauna & Flora, @communitiesforseas.bsky.social and Project Seagrass.

Are you an individual or a member of a group in Scotland with an interest in seagrass who could benefit from being part of the Collaborative?

Get in touch with us to register to be involved: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
