Can we regrow damaged seagrass meadows?

Seagrass meadows, which provide vital protection to coastlines and support thousands of species, have been declining at an alarming rate since the late 19th century, with around 30% of this ecosystem disappearing. This loss is not only devastating for marine biodiversity but also has significant implications for the environment, as seagrass plays a crucial role in storing carbon dioxide. The potential to regrow damaged seagrass meadows could be a game-changer for coastal ecosystems and the fight against climate change.

Why it matters

Seagrass meadows are crucial for coastal protection and biodiversity. Their loss has significant environmental impacts, but restoration efforts may help recover damaged areas.
