Two patches of seagrass have been planted in the latest trial to see if the species could grow again.

After two years of background work, Durham Wildlife Trust carried out the plantings at the river Don at Jarrow and the river Aln at Alnmouth at the end of November.

Dr Martina Bristow, the trust's seagrass and seaweed research officer, said the plants looked healthy, which was a "a very good sign".
