Reed and phanerogams transplants started again: online the new video on stakeholder involvement
On April 2021, the transplant actions of seagrass and reedbeds in the project area of Life Lagoon Refresh started again. First transplants were carried out during summer 2020, but unfortunately with a little delay on timetable due to COVID lockdowns.
First, reed transplants were carried out on June-July, and then they continued until October 2020 with almost 550 clods being transplanted. Seagrass transplants started in autumn 2020, with almost 330 clods of Zostera marina and Z. noltei.
It was exactly on April 2021, when we intensified our activities of transplants to try tocatch up and accelerate the colonization of the reedbeds and seagrasses in the project area. In April, we transplanted more than 550 clods of reeds, whilst from February to April 2021 about 400 clods of phanerogams were planted. Activities will continue throughout the entire year.
