Conservationists are hoping Cornwall’s waters will be revived as they unveil a £1.8m project aimed at restoring marine habitats, rebuilding native oyster populations, and creating thriving underwater ecosystems.

The Mor Nature initiative will be the largest seagrass restoration project ever undertaken in the UK, with plans to restore 10 hectares of seagrass meadow in Falmouth Bay over the next three years.

Led by Cornwall Wildlife Trust (CWT) in partnership with the Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT), the project hoped to breathe new life into some of Cornwall’s most important coastal habitats.
