Celebrating Seagrass Nursery Growth
Seagrass
Supporting seagrass to succeed on the Tees
Stronger Shores Delivery Partner, The Tees Rivers Trust has been growing seagrass in their indoor nursery since January 2025. Thousands of seeds were planted and a good number of seedlings have started to grow.
Zostera seagrass plants are very delicate and need specific conditions to thrive. In the nursery, the seagrass can receive dedicated care and growth conditions can be controlled.
Algae loves to grow on seagrass and this can limit their photosynthesis, so the work of Tees Rivers Trust is super important in supporting seagrass to thrive. We hope to see many of the seagrass plants in the nursery continuing to grow happily under the watchful eye of the Trust.
