Project Seagrass

That this House commends the work of Project Seagrass, a charity actively working to safeguard seagrass in Caerfyrddin and beyond, dedicated to advancing the conservation of seagrass through education, influence, research and action; notes that seagrasses are flowering plants that live in the shallow, sheltered areas of our coast and support thousands of marine species, producing oxygen, storing carbon, stabilising our coastlines and keeping our oceans clean; highlights that since the late 19th century, it is estimated that one third of the world’s seagrass meadows have disappeared; acknowledges that since 2013, Project Seagrass has been committed to science based solutions to the global challenges facing seagrass; further notes that this work has led to the planting of over 2 million seagrass seeds by engaging over 3000 volunteers; and wishes Project Seagrass the very best with their important work protecting and restoring seagrass whilst supporting the continuation of sustainable human activities.
