Vast seagrass meadows will shield Humber coastline (www.bbc.com)

A project to restore vast meadows of a saltwater plant to the Humber Estuary has reached a major milestone, experts say.

Seagrass is one of the most powerful natural tools for tackling climate change and can protect coastlines from storms and erosion, according to Wilder Humber – a partnership of the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire wildlife trusts.

It once covered about 1,100 acres (445 hectares) of the estuary, but declined dramatically during the 20th Century due to pollution, disease and the loss of natural coastal space.
