After studying and mapping the seagrass meadows in the Special Conservation Areas of Tenerife and identifying the threats these meadows face, Innoceana’s next endeavor is to proactively contribute to the restoration of this invaluable ecosystem. The ‘LOS JARDINEROS DEL MAR’ project marks our initial stride in transplanting seagrass in Tenerife, aiming to rehabilitate and regain the lost coverage of these meadows.
In order to achieve this challenge, Innoceana has developed a pioneering and innovative methodology for the restoration of seagrass meadows. This technique significantly enhances the survival rates of the plants, laying the foundation for combating the loss of seagrass meadows not only in the Canary Islands but around the world.
OUR MAIN GOAL is to make the biggest positive impact on the marine environment. At Innoceana, we’re focused on increasing the number of transplanted seagrass plants.
OUR LONG-TERM VISION? To build a dedicated lab where we can germinate and grow seagrass, planting it directly without the need to extract it from other areas.
