Lea Verfondern, 21, a veterinary assistant and member of the maritime conservation group Sea Shepherd looks out to sea as she prepares her diving gear before planting seagrass 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
