The main focus of this project is Carradale and Torrisdale Bays on the east side of the Kintyre peninsula. The bays have good areas of semi sheltered water, with the right substrate. Historic records and washed up seagrass plants suggest that seagrass is growing there.

The ‘Restoring Shetland’s marlie meadows’ project aims to restore 1.2 ha of subtidal seagrass beds in west Mainland. This project aims to trial shoot transplantation methods in areas where seagrass was historically abundant, thereby enhancing resilience across multiple sites.

The aim of this project is to restore a seagrass bed at Inverasdale, Loch Ewe, Wester Ross. The restoration area is within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, where living fragments of a former seagrass bed were present until around 2010. An initial area of 0.5ha will be targeted, with potential for additional restoration of seagrass beds over a greater area within the Loch Ewe area over future years.
