  • Mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs are all connected and all rely on each other for healthy functioning. Seagrasses occupy 0.1% of the seafloor, yet are responsible for 11% of the organic carbon buried in the ocean. Seagrass meadows, mangroves and coastal wetlands capture carbon at a rate greater than that of tropical forests.

  • Red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) propagules, the "seeds", become fully mature plants before dropping off the parent tree to drift away and establish a new tree. Image made in The Bahamas.

  • Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) juvenile, hiding in eelgrass (Zostera marina) with cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) off Newfoundland, Canada
    20190924-500_7993.jpg
  • Juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) hiding in eelgrass (Zostera marina) off Newfoundland Canada. This species of fish were once one of the most caught and eaten fish in the world. In 1992 the fishery collapsed and 37,000 people lost their jobs overnight. Juvenile cod and many other heavily fished species use seagrass as a nursery. The healthier the seagrass is, the better fisheries will likely be.

  • Oxygen bubbles form on neptune seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain. Seagrass produce oxygen through photosynthesis. One square meter of seagrass can produce 10 liters of oxygen per day. They also absorb and store carbon 35 times more efficiently than rainforests helping our fight against climate change.

  • Many organisms like nematoda, Harpacticoida, Cnidaria, Polychaeta (larva), Foraminifera, make their home on neptune seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain.

  • Life on a small scale thrives on individual seagrass blades. Here, colonies of Electra posidoniae (the chain link things) and Lichenopora radiata (the white things) bryozoans on a Posidonia oceanica seagrass blade. If you include this level of organism in the equation, seagrass rivals rain forests in biodiversity.
