This is an excerpt from episode 82 featuring a grab of about 14 minutes or so from my conversation with Geoff Bastyan. He’s the bloke at the heart of what’s been recognised as the world’s most successful seagrass restoration. And what a story it is. With all the key ingredients. Like being told it couldn’t be done, facing a dire wipe out of the pre-existing seagrass meadows, and intuiting the surprisingly simple method that would turn it all around. And what that means for marine habitat and food, preventing coastal erosion, and for what’s come to called ‘blue carbon’, can’t be overstated.
Title slide: Restoration in progress – a 1997 seagrass restoration trial, four years later in October 2001 (pic: Geoff Bastyan) (sourced from this terrific article on it all).

You can hear the rest of our conversation, waterside in Albany, in the main episode, ‘The World’s Most Successful Seagrass Restoration, with humble pioneer Geoff Bastyan’.
You’ll find a series of photos on that episode web page too.
