They are for example, Dugongs favourite food and they also feed turtles, sea urchins, crabs and some fish. But in addition and together with algae and mangrove, they are an active constituent of marine carbon cycles. Remember? 70% of the oxygen we breathe comes from the sea and 1 m square of seagrass will absorb 20 times more CO2 then the same surface of land grass. Seagrass therefore reduces water acidification. However, besides exploitation for human benefits (as fertilizer, insulation for houses, bandages and matresses\u2026) they too are affected by the constant boating traffic, anchoring, pollution from human waste and climate change.<\/p>\n

Seagrass coverage is being lost globally at a rate of 1.5 percent per year<\/strong><\/a>. That amounts to about 2 football fields of seagrass lost each hour. It’s estimated that 29 percent of seagrass meadows have died off in the past century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to a 2011 assessment, nearly one quarter of all seagrass species for which information was adequate to judge were threatened<\/strong><\/a> (endangered or vulnerable).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”25%” module_alignment=”center” height=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” header_2_font=”Tide Sans 200|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font_size=”2.5em” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seagrass communities are essential to the overall health of coastal ecosystems.
