Seagrass has the potential to be one of the world's most effective sponges at soaking up and storing carbon, but we don't yet know how nutrient pollution affects its ability to sequester carbon.

University of Michigan researchers, including recent doctoral graduate Bridget Shayka, studied the impact of nutrients on seagrass. They studied plots of seagrass growing in a bay in The Bahamas, ...

Seagrass, a vital coastal ecosystem, may be one of the planet’s best natural carbon sponges—but its fate depends on how we manage nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. While moderate nutrient input ...

The world’s seagrasses possess a remarkable ability to capture and store vast amounts of carbon, according to a global study published in Nature Communications. The comprehensive analysis, led by FIU ...

A decades-long research project in Virginia’s coastal bays may soon be among the first to enlist the ocean’s help in the fight against climate change. Today, businesses that produce greenhouse gases ...

Seagrass is known for its blue carbon potential, but meadows also play an important role in coastal protection by helping reduce wave intensity and stabilizing sediments, both of which are key to ...

Deloitte has teamed up with Climate Impact Partners for a program to fund U.K seagrass recovery and unlock long-term finance to save and reinstate vital seagrass meadows. The program, in collaboration ...

Indonesia is moving to designate 17 seagrass habitats as national strategic areas for blue carbon, a plan that promises climate and community benefits but raises concerns over safeguards. The ...

Mote Marine Laboratory opened three new research facilities dedicated to seagrass restoration. The facilities are funded through a partnership between Mote, the state of Florida, and private donors.
