(Reuters) - On a recent Saturday, some 100 volunteers gathered on a popular beach in the Japanese port city of Yokohama, wading in the shallows to plant strands of light-green eelgrass on the seabed.
What began as a project to restore the natural ecosystem along the coast of the city just south of Tokyo has taken on national importance: helping fight climate change as Japan aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
