Saltmarsh superstars! Plant propagation

Please join colleagues at the University's Coastal Plant Hub to help create transplants for the Green Shores saltmarsh restoration effort on the Tay and Eden Estuaries.

The plant hub is located on one of the Eden Golf Course utility sites, next to the Eden Estuary. Please email [email protected] to get exact directions.

Saltmarshes that fringe the margins of estuaries are coastal habitats valued for specialist flora and fauna, as carbon stores and for coastal defence. Many of Scotland's saltmarshes are under threat from shoreline degradation and climate change. Green Shores is a long-standing initiative that works with stakeholders and coastal communities to combat saltmarsh habitat loss.

One their current projects is scaling improvements to the ecological status and increasing resilience of the saltmarsh habitat at the Tay and Eden Estuaries.
