It may not be the most beautiful sighting, but I found it fascinating. I believe they were created by Diastrophus rubi, which is a small parasitoid wasp. A gall can contain up to 200 larvae, each in an individual cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been finding out a lot about seagrass (eelgrass) habitats. There are two species of seagrass (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marlin.ac.uk\/habitats\/az\/Z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Zostera noltei<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Z.marina<\/em><\/a>), which provide an important habitat for a wide range of species, and help to stabilise the seabed, clean surrounding seawater and absorb vast quantities of CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, seagrass is critically endangered. It is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.derc.org.uk\/general\/eelgrass.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatened<\/a>\u00a0by high nutrient levels (mainly from fertilisers and animal waste), damage from anchors and propellers, disease, and destructive fishing practices.\u00a0There is anecdotal evidence that seagrass probably existed in the Teign Estuary prior to the 1990s, but it is no longer present. Seagrass in the Exe Estuary has expanded in recent years and can be found near Dawlish Warren, Exmouth and Lympstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/ww.actionclimateteignbridge.org\/february-2021-newsletter\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to all wardens for the hard work you have put into the scheme during these difficult times.
