Haere mai, welcome, Yuki Hughes to the #RestoretheMeadows research team! Yuki is joining us as a Cawthron Institute Summer Scholar and will be helping collect and process seagrass flowers, as well as running a district experiment to understand pollination of seagrass flowers in a lab setting.

Exciting news for seagrass lovers! As part of Cawthron's Restore the Meadows seagrass restoration programme, we’ve launched the Aotearoa Seagrass Flower Survey database – a national hub for recording seagrass flowering data. seagrassflowerdatabase.cawthron.org.nz www.cawthron.org.nz/research/our...

Seagrass meadows are an essential part of healthy coastal ecosystems. They filter water, stabilise sediment, support marine life, and store carbon. Understanding when and where seagrass flowers is a crucial first step to restoring seagrass meadows.
Anyone can record flowering data, no matter where you are based in New Zealand. By inputting your observations into our new app, we’ll be able to identify the best times to collect seeds, understand regional patterns, and support sustainable restoration efforts nationwide.
