Jennycliff Bay is located within Plymouth Sound. As well as Plymouth Sound being a Marine Protected Area (MPA), Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), it is also the UK’s first ever National Marine Park. Plymouth Sound is a unique place that balances defence, travel, recreation and conservation. It is an area of marine importance because it is home to some of Europe’s most threatened marine species and habitats.
Our restoration work started in Jennycliff Bay as part of the LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES project. As the cultivation and restoration lead, we trialled methods to restore Zostera marina. We identified viable ways to achieve subtidal seagrass restoration, using Hydro Marine Seeding and Seagrass Mat Technology in combination. Now, as a Blue Meadows site, we will continue to monitor this site to see the regeneration success.
Case study locations
Working with local communities and stakeholders, we hope to work in more locations protecting and restoring vital seagrass meadows. Get in touch to help us protect a meadow near you.
