Global conservation organisation Project Seagrass has collaborated with Coldplay to offer fans the chance to win tickets to see the band live in concert!

Locally, Project Seagrass is behind seagrass meadow restoration at Dale, Pembrokeshire and a pioneering seagrass nursery at Laugharne.

In line with its mission to raise awareness of the critical role that seagrass meadows play for our planet, the competition encourages participants to create inspiring, impactful, and creative designs advocating for and communicating the science and importance of seagrass.

Full details on the themes of the competition can be found on the Project Seagrass website, but Project Seagrass is hopeful that hundreds of creatives will take part.

Often termed the “ugly duckling” of marine conservation, global advocacy for conserving seagrass has been hindered by assumptions that they aren’t as vibrant as other ocean habitats. With awareness of their importance for a wide variety of animals, from the tiniest of invertebrates, to the world’s largest herbivorous marine mammal, opinion is now changing.

“Globally, the undersea meadows that seagrasses create are vital for biodiversity, stabilising our coastlines, absorbing carbon, and alleviating poverty in fishing communities dependent on them” said Dr Jones. However, seagrass meadows are under threat. Seagrass loss, primarily driven by land-use change, poor water quality, and human activity, is globally widespread. By participating in the competition, entrants are not only entering for the chance to see Coldplay live but also showing their support for marine conservation efforts.

The competition will be open for entries until the deadline on Sunday, February 16. The winners will be chosen by a panel of judges from Project Seagrass, Coldplay’s Management Team and an independent judge, award winning author and artist Janina Rossiter.

The lucky winners will have the opportunity to see Coldplay live at Wembley Stadium in London in summer 2025!
