Eden Project Seagrass Ranger

Help save our seagrass and the amazing animals that live in it! Tidy up the trash, clean up the water, plant the seagrass and watch the wildlife return.

Become a seagrass ranger, help us clean up our Cornish, coastal seagrass meadow, and watch the wildlife return. Can you spot the animals? Do you know what they are? What can you learn about each species that lives in seagrass? Why does seagrass matter? Seagrass is one of nature's unsung heroes in the fight against climate change and the biodiversity crisis. It’s a home to thousands of sea creatures and a nursery for their young, it absorbs and stores loads of carbon, protects coastlines from storms and improves sea water quality, but it’s under threat and is currently critically endangered. In the past 40 years, almost 40% of UK seagrass meadows have been lost. Play the game to get to know seagrass and learn how you can help. Suitable for children of all ages, this game is a fun and interactive way for kids to learn about seagrass habitats, the sea creatures that live in them, and what needs to be done for their protection. The game can be played on site at the Eden Project inside The Core building and now also downloaded here! It aims to help spread the environmental messages and get younger audiences interested in seagrass habitats. Made as part of a collaboration with the Eden Project and Natural England.
