About the event
This March marks the start of seagrass restoration in the Firth of Forth. Together with local community volunteers Restoration Forth will seed the first seagrass seeds on Pettycur Bay. Attendees can seek to gain practical skills in active restoration, as well as enhancing their understanding of these valuable coastal habitats.
The plan:
Participants will meet members of the Restoration Forth team in the Burntisland Leisure Centre car park at 08:10am. A short safety briefing will take place before you meet the team at the trail site for instructions on the seeding protocol. Together volunteers and project team will walk out to the seagrass restoration site and after another instruction we’ll inject seagrass seeds into the seabed using the dispenser injection seeding technique. Once seeding is completed, participants will be invited to come back to the Ecology Centre for warm drinks and cake.
