March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth !
Did you know?
Florida has nearly 2.5 million acres of seagrass meadows and seven different species of seagrass are found in FL waters. All can serve as an important food source for #manatees !

Tremendous progress in global coordination of seagrass observations reported by Dr Lina Mtwana Nordlund and Emmett Duffy during the The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) webinar on #Seagrass EOV. In the BioEcoOcean project, we look forward to contributing to the ongoing global effort.

'A report by Blue Marine Foundation, Project Seagrass and Surfers Against Sewage has found that 34% of the country's seagrass meadows are in poor condition, primarily due to too much nitrogen and phosphorus flowing into the sea from polluted rivers and sewage pipes.' - Ben Cooke in…

Happy Manatee Appreciation Day!

Manatees are the canary in the coal mine: When our water is poisoned, seagrass dies and manatees starve. We will continue to fight for clean water and #ZeroDischarges to save our ecosystem.

📢 New paper!
We reconstructed 4000 years of historical vegetation using #eDNA targeted capture and #isotopes .
We found an #ecosystem shift happened 1000 years ago when the #seagrass environment changed to intertidal #mangroves .
Thank you to all who helped get this out there!

Located in the southeast of Menorca and declared a Cultural Heritage Site, its waters full of archaeological treasures, seagrass meadows, and fish make it an underwater paradise for divers with 2,000 dives annually.🤿

Seagrass May Be a Powerful Pollution Fighter | by Dr. Patricia Farrell | Medium #sea grass #pollution #environment #sea #plants #ocean drpatfarrell.medium.com/seagrass-may-b…

Researchers from UVA have discovered that seagrass beds can permanently lock in carbon, even when the seagrass meadows die off. The findings offer optimism for using nature-based solutions in the fight against climate change.
