Mini Meadows - Make a difference, support a Seagrass meadow

Mini Meadows

Make a difference, support a meadow.


The Ocean covers two-thirds of our planet and is the world’s largest ecosystem, but it needs more investment. At a time when the world needs to mitigate the effects of climate change, some of the greatest carbon capturing habitats are being damaged and degraded.

Seagrass is a key part of the solution for a healthy Ocean and planet.

Our work has been focused on this vitally important habitat for over 10 years, as we have worked to refine our seagrass expertise, develop processes and expand our knowledge.

Blue meadows is our holistic approach to seagrass protection, regeneration and restoration, and we need more support to grow this critical programme, scaling up its impact.

What is Mini Meadows?

Our new Mini Meadows scheme provides a nature-based solution to climate change and biodiversity loss. This new donation model offers a way for the public and private sector to help us improve the marine environment together, and provide support for the conservation of seagrass habitats.

Mini Meadows takes into consideration existing seagrass areas, which are nationally declining, as well as new restoration sites, combining protection and restoration in one simple offer. Each hectare of seagrass meadow is made up of 1,000 Mini Meadows. Each Mini Meadow has the potential to capture over 3kg of carbon and 0.05kg of nitrogen. It also provides a sanctuary for over 1,000 fish and invertebrates and provide coastal defences for local communities. One Mini Meadow needs £50 of financial support over a 5-year period.
