Sea Grass Beds

Sea grass beds are underwater plant communities found in shallow coastal waters, where sea grasses grow in dense, meadow-like formations. These vital ecosystems provide habitat and food for marine life such as fish, sea turtles, and invertebrates. They also help stabilize the seabed, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and store carbon, contributing to climate regulation. Sea grass beds are sensitive to pollution, physical disturbances, and water quality changes, making their conservation important for maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.
