Sounds of seagrass Dr. Megan Ballard discusses listening to seagrass for studies on carbon sequestration and what we can learn about environmental change through underwater acoustics.

Improving the data and understanding of carbon sequestration rates of seagrass can help build the foundations to quantify the carbon benefits.

The Saya de Malha Bank is one of the world’s largest seagrass fields and the planet’s most important carbon sinks. It faces incalculable risks that threaten the future of humanity.

The study emphasizes that conserving existing seagrass meadows is among the most cost-effective strategies for mitigating climate change. Immediate actions are critical, including integrating seagrass ...

Marine scientists have found what they believe to be the world's biggest seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, significantly increasing previous estimates on how much seagrass exists on Earth.

Seagrass meadows are among the most vital yet underappreciated ecosystems on Earth. These submerged marine plants play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and ...

Seagrasses and salt marshes can store more carbon than trees. Adding it up is easier said than done. Could restoring New England’s coastal ecosystems help the region meet its climate goals?

Seagrass ecosystems are highly productive, and are sites of significant carbon sequestration. Sediment-held carbon stocks can be many thousands of years old, and persist largely due to sediment anoxia ...

Given the carbon storage and sequestration capacity of seagrass ecosystems, including them in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) can help nations achieve their targets under the Paris ...

JAKARTA — Indonesia has launched a climate mitigation plan focusing on the country’s seagrass meadows, an overlooked ecosystem that ranks among the most efficient carbon sinks on the planet ...

Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes or seagrass meadows.
