It’s the last Friday in September, and time for some good news to take you into October with a smile. The post I’ve chosen to share this month was brought to my attention by Carol Thompson and is great news for everyone, but especially interesting for those of us who live near the ocean.
It’s about an experiment to reseed the ocean floor with sea grass off the coast of England. The process was carried out successfully in the Chesapeake Bay here in the United States and the scientists who made it happen are now working with teams in Europe and Australia to foster far-reaching sea grass restoration. Sea grass, I learned, has huge potential in the fight against global warming and is an important habitat for fish and other sea creatures. I highly encourage you to read the article.

What a fab idea and share Amy! I could think of a few things that could do with re-seeding 🙂 x

Thanks, Debby! I can think of some things, too. Beginning with the dredging of the bay right down the road…grr.

I didn’t either, and I live very near the ocean. It’s amazing how many things I don’t know about the ecosystem in my own community. Thanks for stopping by, Eric.

My pleasure, Samantha. I hadn’t heard about it, either, until my friend brought the article to my attention. Amazing to think how much carbon sea grass can accommodate. Thanks for visiting!
