Cornwall Council Blue Natural Capital Project Film 

Cornwall Council are working in partnership with University of Exeter Cornwall & Natural Capital Solutions to research and assess how effective Seagrass and seaweeds are at absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. This crucial data will hopefully lead to the protection of these vital seabed habitats.
As part of the project scientists discovered new areas of Maerl - a coralline pink seaweed - in the Fal and Helford special areas of conservation. They are also working with Falmouth Harbour to help reduce impacts to the seabed from boating.
