Seagrass Spotlight | Episode Seven
This episode is a 'seagrass spotlight' we talk about the wonderful world of seagrass and the meadows around Guernsey. This humble underwater plant may not have the glamour of a coral reef or the majesty of a humpback whale, but it plays a crucial role in our marine ecosystems.
Did you know that seagrass meadows provide vital habitat for all kinds of sea creatures, from tiny shrimp to giant manatees? And that they even help to combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? Yeah these plants truly are the unsung heroes of the ocean.
So, join us as we take a closer look at seagrass and explore why it's so important to protect and preserve these unassuming underwater wonders.
