The Firth of Forth Lobster Hatchery has teamed up with the Scottish Seabird Centre and the wider Restoration Forth project to facilitate seagrass seed processing. Support from the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, managed by NatureScot, through Scottish Marine Environmental Enhancement Fund (SMEEF) facilitated grants, has allowed the Lobster Hatchery to become one of the two seagrass processing facilities, alongside The Ecology Centre in Kinghorn. Reproductive seagrass shoots collected in Orkney will be processed at these two facilities to retrieve seeds, before being planted in the Firth of Forth as part of Restoration Forth.
