Volunteers glue seeds to clam shells to restore Connecticut seagrass

Original: Why volunteers are gluing seeds to clam shells in Connecticut https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.pops ci.com/environment

Volunteers in Connecticut are gluing eelgrass seeds to clam shells and scattering them on the seabed to restore seagrass meadows along the coast. The shells give seeds a stable surface to take root, improving survival rates. The project has drawn attention as a low-cost, community-driven way to rebuild habitats that support fish, filter water and store carbon.

Why now: People are interested in the creative, low-tech restoration method and what it means for coastal ecosystems.
