Seagrass

    Scientists in Wales are pioneering seagrass restoration as a natural climate solution. Seagrass covers just 0.2% of the ocean but provides 10% of its carbon storage. This remarkable plant stores carbon at 35 times the rate of tropical rainforests and creates habitats for 40 times as much marine life as seabeds without grass. But pollution and shipping are destroying seagrass at an alarming rate (the UK has already lost 90%). Now in Dale Bay, the Seagrass Ocean Rescue project is placing miles of rope with little hessian bags and a million seagrass seeds on the seabed. Regeneration is happening.
