Seagrass Initiative

The Seagrass Initiative is a global effort focused on the conservation and restoration of seagrass ecosystems, which are vital underwater plants found in coastal areas. Seagrasses provide crucial benefits, such as improving water quality, supporting marine biodiversity, and capturing carbon dioxide, helping combat climate change. The initiative involves collaboration among governments, scientists, and communities to protect existing seagrass beds and revive damaged areas. By fostering healthy seagrass environments, the initiative aims to enhance marine life, sustain fisheries, and maintain a balanced ecosystem, ultimately benefiting both nature and human communities that rely on coastal resources.
