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.
