Description
With approximately 60 species spread across four families, seagrasses are a wonderfully diverse group of marine aquatic plants. They are also extremely important both ecologically and economically. From supporting massive fisheries and reducing erosion to sequestering massive quantities of greenhouse gases, simply put, we can't overemphasize the importance of seagrasses across the globe. Unfortunately, our species hasn't treated seagrasses and the habitats they create very well. Seagrasses are also in desperate need of scientific study and that is where people like Bridget Shayka come in. Join us as we dive into her incredible research on Caribbean seagrasses and learn just how incredible these plants truly are.
