Seagrass meadows are some of our best allies in addressing climate change.
These #bluecarbon ecosystems capture and store carbon while protecting our coasts from increased storms and floods. (1/2)

Seagrasses are vital for marine life:
🐠 Provide habitats that support biodiversity
🎣Boost fisheries as nurseries & feeding grounds
This year's theme “SeagrassesEnrichOceanBiodiversity&Fisheries” highlights their role in ocean health.Join us to #ProtectSeagrass!

These vital ecosystems protect coasts, filter water, store carbon & shelter marine life.
With rising sea temps & heatwaves, Europe’s seagrass is at risk. Protecting it means protecting our future. #WorldSeagrassDay 🌊💙

Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots, home to thousands of species.
What's more, they act as incredible carbon sinks, helping combat climate change.
But 92% of the UK’s seagrass has been lost.
Protecting & restoring what we have left is vital.
