Seagrass Beds: Prairies of the Sea

Found in shallow waters all around the world, except Antarctica, seagrass has solidified its role as one of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet.
This short film contains loads of information about seagrass, such as:
🌱 Where it’s found
🌱 The ecosystem services it provides
🌱 Current threats to seagrass
🌱 And much, much more!
Seagrasses desperately need our help as they fight all 5 of the most serious threats to ocean life - overexploitation, physical modification, nutrient and sediment pollution, the introduction of non-native species, and climate change.
All over the world, organisations have initiated projects to conserve and protect seagrass beds from further decline. Project Seagrass, in partnership with WWF and Swansea University, have shown that it is possible to restore seagrass ecosystems, by collecting and harvesting 1 million seeds and regrowing meadows.
You can help by donating to or volunteering for seagrass restoration projects or taking part in citizen science initiatives. Why not try the Seagrass Spotter app from Project Seagrass to document seagrass in your area?
All our videos can be used for educational purposes alongside our illustrated posters!
