Novel systems for planting seagrasses within a subaquatic substrate and methods related thereto

A seagrass planting system for planting seagrass segments within a subaquatic substrate, the system comprising:

• a conveyance subassembly configured to receive planting spikes from a surface location, the conveyance subassembly including a conveyance tube having a first end and a second end;
• a subaquatic planter coupled to the conveyance subassembly and configured to operate underwater and including:
• a seagrass planting subassembly positioned on the subaquatic planter, the seagrass planting subassembly including:
• a diverter fluidly coupled to the second end of the conveyance tube, the diverter configured to selectively direct fluid flow to an exhaust port or to one of a plurality of fluidic pathways;
• a plurality of planting guides, each planting guide associated with one of the plurality of fluidic pathways, each planting guide having a planting channel configured to receive a planting spike from its associated fluidic pathway;
• a plurality of doors, each door associated with one of the plurality of planting guides and configured to retain a planting spike within the planting channel and inhibit fluid flow through the planting channel, wherein in an operative state the planting spike, under force of fluid flow, displaces towards the door;
• and
• a plurality of insertion rams, each insertion ram associated with one of the plurality of planting guides and configured to move from a retracted position to an extended position to push the planting spike from the planting channel into the subaquatic substrate;
• wherein the diverter is configured to sequentially direct fluid flow to the exhaust port, to one of the plurality of fluidic pathways to facilitate conveyance of the planting spike, within the planting channel, adjacent to one of the plurality of doors, and to the exhaust port prior to opening the door and actuating one of the plurality of insertion rams to push the planting spike into the subaquatic substrate.
