Recent trials to restore seagrass meadows in the Humber Estuary have yielded promising results, with experts affirming the substantial protective benefits these saltwater plants offer to coastlines. Seagrass meadows act as a natural shield, mitigating coastal erosion and providing crucial habitats for marine life. This restoration effort comes as part of a broader awakening to the importance of preserving natural systems, with a major report warning that businesses face the risk of extinction without urgent action to protect and restore the ecosystems that sustain them. The report calls for immediate measures to support nature-based solutions, emphasizing the need for businesses to prioritize ecological restoration to ensure long-term resilience.
