RSS An Example of Ocean Warming Damaging Seagrass Meadows and Releasing Carbon

[MASA Admin]

In recent years climatologists have begun to more clearly understand the role seagrass meadows play in storing carbon, with some seagrass meadows being able to capture more carbon per acre than the tropical rain forest. Sadly, ocean warming can lead to severe damage to seagrass meadows. In one study, investigating an event in 2010-2011 at the Shark Bay World Heritage Site in Western Australia, researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the
