Seagrass - a matter of life or death

Unhealthy and healthy seagrass.

Unhealthy and healthy seagrass.

Why measuring seagrass health is essential in our fight against climate change.
This World Seagrass Day we would like the draw your attention to the importance of seagrass health. One of the reasons why the protection of seagrass is lagging, is because the calculation of the carbon sequestration of seagrass can be complex. Healthy seagrass can sequester up to 35x more CO2 than terrestrial forests, however unhealthy seagrass can release CO2 and other climate gases.
Rather than ignoring it as too complex, it is even more a a reason to prioritise seagrass in climate mitigation strategies. to make sure all seagrass we still have left will be strong, healthy, and potent carbon sinks.
PlanBlue can assess the health of seagrass meadows fast, accurately and at scale. We have no time to lose.
