Let’s show some love to marine life that isn’t so cute and fluffy!
The #RestorationForth team and local community spotted some interesting #MarineLife in the #seagrass meadows in #Orkney. They might look a little bit silly, but these coastal companions are still remarkable. 💙

Take a moment to explore an Orcadian #seagrass meadow & meet the creatures that call it home! 🦀
#Orkney is a special place for #RestorationForth… the seagrass meadows highlight the #MarineLife that this super species can support, and the local community always gives the team a very warm welcome. 💚

Thanks to those who joined #RestorationForth for a Coastal BioBlitz in Burntisland!
A brilliant variety of #MarineLife was recorded, including many fish, invertebrates, seaweeds, butterflies, moths & birds. 🔎
A reminder to take a closer look when in nature - you might be surprised by what you see!

The #RestorationForth team had a brilliant time in #Orkney. It's always a joy to explore Orkney's thriving #seagrass meadows. The team loved spending time catching up with people in Orkney about the work being done to restore these vital habitats. 🌱
