Sea Grass

Sea grass refers to aquatic plants that grow in shallow coastal waters and estuaries. Unlike seaweeds, they are true plants with roots, stems, and leaves, and they reproduce through seeds or shoots. Sea grass beds provide vital habitats for marine life, offering food, shelter, and breeding grounds for fish, invertebrates, and other animals. They also help stabilize sediments, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and protect shorelines from erosion. These ecosystems are essential for a healthy ocean environment, supporting biodiversity and contributing to carbon sequestration.
