Seagrass prevents coastal erosion, stores carbon, and contributes to food security.
Yet, these vital ecosystems are in decline.

In some parts of the UK like Brighton & Hove, bee bricks have been made mandatory for new buildings taller than 5 meters. These bricks contain narrow holes designed to mimic the natural nesting sites of solitary bees, which make up the majority of Britain’s 270 bee species.

It’s great to see WA Gov has committed to improving its state cat laws to enable local governments to prevent pet cats from roaming; a win-win-win solution for wildlife, cats and human health. NSW is now the only state who hasn't updated their laws.

Good to see new efforts for mink control in Ireland, including detection dogs, but why only ‘pilot projects’?
Planning & delivering eradication is the only effective way to protect not only ground nesting birds, but also amphibians and fish.

Multiple benefits always arise from restoring ecosystems…
In the case of mangroves, marine & terrestrial nature both benefit, as well as climate, fisheries & coastal protection too…
Could You contribute to large scale mangrove restoration in some way?

Interest in large-scale mangrove restoration is growing, but success depends on aligning all stakeholders—NGOs, govts, scientists, & communities—around science-based approaches.
