Finalist Human Connection Award: People & Planet Ocean

Francesca Page Isle of White, UK

50°41'23.1396" N 1°4'14.376" W

A volunteer from Project Seagrass surveys a healthy seagrass meadow in the Solent, off the Isle of Wight. Seagrass supports marine life, stores carbon and helps protect coastlines, yet the UK has lost around 92 per cent of these underwater meadows. Through the Solent Seascape Project, volunteers and scientists are restoring this vital habitat, showing how community action can help bring damaged marine ecosystems back to life.
