SeagrassWatch

SeagrassWatch is a community-driven program that monitors the health of seagrass beds, vital underwater plants that support marine ecosystems. Participants, including scientists and volunteers, collect data on seagrass extent, health, and environmental conditions such as water quality. This information helps detect changes over time, identify threats like pollution or invasive species, and informs conservation efforts. By involving local communities, SeagrassWatch promotes awareness of the importance of seagrass habitats and contributes valuable scientific data to protect these essential underwater ecosystems.
