Seagrass is a superhero of the sea! It’s a crucial marine habitat and an important climate change mitigation. It provides shelter, nursery grounds, and food for many fish, invertebrates, and other marine animals while also capturing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, building carbon-rich plant material, and trapping organic carbon in the sediments beneath it. When healthy and undisturbed, seagrass meadows can keep carbon locked away for decades or even centuries.
