A trial is to be made off the Pembrokeshire coast to plant the area with rapidly growing sea grass (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-49573170/carbon-reducing-seagrass-to-be-planted-off-pembrokeshire-coast). Sea grass has, reportedly, a more impressive carbon capture rate than tree planting on land (and are hence helpful in the attempt to control climate change). These plants also serve as nurseries for many marine organisms (so they will increase productivity). Some people have suggested that areas where sea grass are already located should be better protected as they are a valuable resource.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
