Volunteers have worked to restore undersea meadows in England's largest seagrass planting effort.
Around 16,000 bags of seeds and 2,200 seedlings have been planted in Devon's Plymouth Sound National Marine Park since 7 April.
The £2.5m project aims to grow eight hectares (80,000 sq m) of meadow in Devon and Hampshire over four years.
Up to 92% of UK seagrass has been lost to disease, pollution and disturbance over the last century, research shows.
