What's so special about seagrass? Well, quite a lot actually....
It is the only flowering plant that lives in the sea and plays a crucial role in carbon storage, protecting coastlines, improving water quality, and providing homes for thousands of species 🐋 🐠
One of the biggest known seagrass beds in the UK was recently discovered in St Austell Bay, very close to Eden Project Cornwall.
Narrated by Monty Halls and Dr Imogen Napper, and created by Owl'n'Wolf, this animation dives into the importance of seagrass meadows and their impact on our planet 🌾🌿
Share the video to help raise awareness about the need to protect and restore these vital ecosystems 🌍

🥳🎉Our Communities team were delighted to work with @Lauren Leyva to create this delicious sharing recipe for us – Bakewell Blackcurrant Jam Slices!
It’s perfect for The Big Lunch, an annual celebration of neighbours and communities.
This year it takes place between 6-8 May, but you can sign-up for a free pack and take part at any time!
Here’s how to make your own! Makes 12 slices Ingredients: Pastry:
• 240g plain flour
• 100g butter
• 80g sugar
• 1 egg
Cake Mix:
• 150g plain flour
• 150g butter
• 150g sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tsp baking powder
• 1 Tsp almond extract
• 3 heaped Tbsp Blackcurrant jam
• 12-15 fresh raspberries
• Toppings - flaked almonds/chopped almonds
Method:
For the pastry:
• Preheat oven to 200°C. Cut butter into small chunks. Add to flour.
• Rub with fingers until crumb-like.
• Beat the egg, then add to form a dough. Chill for 10 minutes in the fridge.
• Roll out in between two pieces of grease-proof paper (OR on a floured surface). Approximate size is 20cm x 25cm.
• Line baking tin approximately 20cm x 25cm. Remove top piece of paper.
• Turn over pastry into lined tin so the pastry covers the base, not the sides. Prick the pastry base with a fork.
• Bake for 15 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and turn oven down to 180°C.
• Spread jam. For the cake mix: Mix all cake ingredients, except flaked almonds, until smooth.
• Spread cake mix over jam.
• Press in the fresh raspberries, evenly spread out and smooth over with the mixture so the raspberries are mostly covered with mixture.
• Sprinkle flaked/chopped almonds.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked and golden brown.
• Run a knife down edges if cake is stuck to tin. Cut into 12 pieces and serve!
