Seawilding is a pioneering, community-led Scottish charity working with coastal communities to restore degraded inshore marine habitats to enhance biodiversity, improve water quality and sequester carbon. Seawilding develops best practice, low-cost methodologies and training programmes to help other coastal communities do the same. Due to the growth of the organisation they required a light-weight robust vessel that has the flexibility to be used for work (oyster cages and equipment, seagrass harvest and marine habitat surveying), dive-support and passenger transport.
Seawilding was awarded £27,372 for this work. This grant round was made possible with funds from the Nature Restoration Fund (NRF). For more information about how to contribute to SMEEF contact manager@smeef.scot
