Seagrass

The seagrass meadows can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The preservation and restoration of seagrass meadows can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect the marine environment.

Seagrass meadows can act as a buffer against ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide from the water, a process known as ocean acidification mitigation.

The global loss of seagrass meadows due to human activities has significant implications for carbon storage and could exacerbate the effects of climate change.

Carbon sequestration in seagrass meadows is not only driven by the amount of organic material present but also by the types of seagrass species and their growth rates, which vary by region.
