Seagrass conservation

Seagrass conservation involves protecting underwater flowering plants vital for healthy marine ecosystems. These plants provide habitat for fish and wildlife, stabilize seabeds, and improve water quality by filtering pollutants. Conservation efforts include reducing pollution, preventing habitat destruction from activities like trawling or construction, and restoring degraded areas through planting. Protecting seagrass beds is essential for maintaining biodiversity, supporting fisheries, and combating climate change by storing carbon. Effective conservation combines scientific research, policy measures, and community engagement to ensure these valuable ecosystems thrive for future generations.
