Looe Harbour Commissioners and the Ocean Conservation Trust have joined forces to protect one of the largest seagrass meadows in the South West.

They installed special sensitive habitat marker buoys to highlight seagrass areas in Looe Bay and protect the "remarkable" habitat, said the trust's Eden Stevens.

The buoys mark a voluntary no-anchor zone, to encourage water users to avoid anchoring, reduce seabed damage, and protect declining seagrass habitats.
