Alderney seagrass planted in Wales

Sea grass from Alderney is being planted off the coast of Wales as part of a new environmental project.

The grass has been donated to Swansea University as it can store double the amount of carbon than soils on-land.

The seagrass can also survive in warmer waters.

Seeds from underwater seagrass meadows in Longis nature reserve, off the coast of Alderney, will be sent to the University to germinate before being planted underwater at a new meadow in Wales.
