  • 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.

  • Life on a small scale thrives on individual seagrass blades.
