    The Wider Image: In Baltic Sea, citizen divers restore seagrass

    Lea Verfondern, 21, a veterinary assistant and member of the maritime conservation group Sea Shepherd, hands over bags with seagrass shoots to marine scientists Angela Stevenson, 39, and Tadhg O'Corcora, 38, during a two-day citizen diver course that aims to re-green the Baltic Sea in Maasholm, Northern Germany, July 2, 2023. The citizen diver course is part of the SeaStore Seagrass Restoration Project at GEOMAR and is one of the first initiatives to teach and enable citizens to restore seagrass autonomously. "It's like underwater gardening," said Verfondern "Everyone should make a contribution to protecting the environment because it ... affects us all,". REUTERS/Lisi Niesner
