Seagrasses may not always steal the spotlight like coral reefs or mangroves, but these underwater meadows play an extraordinary role in keeping our marine ecosystem thriving
We’ll be speaking with Dr Ow Yan Xiang, a marine biologist from St John’s Island National Marine Laboratory (@sjinml) on how seagrasses are crucial habitats for marine life and contribute to climate resilience.
We’ll explore: How seagrasses support biodiversity, from tiny seahorses to endangered dugongs Their role in maintaining water quality and buffering against coastal erosion Why seagrasses are considered one of the most effective carbon stores on the planet The challenges they face, from coastal development to climate change ○ How conservation and restoration efforts are helping to safeguard these critical ecosystems
Join us as we dive into the green and uncover why protecting them is key to a healthy, functioning coastline
