Abstract: A seagrass planting system for planting seagrass segments within a subaquatic substrate may include a conveyance subassembly having a conveyance tube extending from a surface location to a subaquatic planter. A seagrass planting subassembly positioned on the subaquatic planter includes a diverter fluidly coupled to the conveyance tube, a plurality of planting guides each having a planting channel, a plurality of doors, and a plurality of insertion rams. The diverter selectively directs fluid flow to an exhaust port or to one of a plurality of fluidic pathways leading to the planting guides. During operation, the diverter sequentially directs fluid flow to the exhaust port during conveyance of a planting spike, to a selected fluidic pathway to position the planting spike within a planting channel against a door, and back to the exhaust port before opening the door and actuating an insertion ram to push the planting spike into the subaquatic substrate.

Abstract: A securing clip includes: an enclosure body including a first end, a second end, and one or more sidewalls that extend between the first end and the second end; one or more fragment module securing tangs extending, from one or more of the sidewalls, into the cavity such that when at least a portion of the fragment module is placed within the cavity, at least a portion of the fragment module securing tang is designed to engage with the fragment module and prevents and/or impedes removal of at least a portion of the fragment module from the cavity; and one or more substrate securing tangs extending from the enclosure body and away from the cavity, each substrate securing tang designed to prevent and/or impede removal of the securing clip when the securing clip is placed into a substrate aperture defined within the substrate.
