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

    Angela Stevenson, 39, a marine scientist for GEOMAR, teaches a lesson on seagrass planting to members of the maritime conservation group Sea Shepherd at their camp in Maasholm, Northern Germany, July 1, 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. Stevenson guided the citizen divers to plant 2,500 shoots during the weekend. "Our aim is to scale it up after this pilot period," said Stevenson. "The ultimate goal is to re-green the Baltic Sea."
