#Seahorse #habitats 'healing' thanks to #EcoMoorings
September 25, 2026
"Scars caused to rare seahorse habitats by boat anchors off the #Dorset coast are starting to heal, thanks to the installation of new moorings.
"In 2021, Studland Bay Marine Partnership began installing the first of dozens of eco-moorings in a bid to reverse damage to delicate #SeagrassMeadows.
"A new scientific study has now provided the first evidence that eco-moorings can help restore #seagrass, with some scars shrinking by more than 90% over four years.
"David Brown, chair of the partnership steering group, called the results 'incredibly exciting', adding: 'The impact has been beyond our expectations.'
" #SeagrassHabitats store carbon, support #biodiversity and help protect coastlines from erosion, but are declining globally due to pollution, development, disturbance and #ClimateChange.
"The research, conducted by Kira Dunn as part of her MSc in Marine Biology with Oceanography at the University of Southampton, analysed monitoring data collected since the first eco-moorings were installed."
