Seagrasses may seem small, occupying just 0.1% of the seafloor, but they are a major carbon sink. A marine park in Jersey would allow for the protection and growth of these high carbon storing habitats, helping Jersey to reach its carbon neutrality goals.

Ahead of COP26 BLUE launched The Sea We Breathe, an interactive web experience. Narrated by @stephenfry and developed by BLUE and @CraftedbyGC, the website submerges the user in an underwater world and connects them to the natural climate solutions of the ocean. #2021Reflections

My very best wishes to all for a happy, safe and blue 2022

Lets work together to communicate why science is a sound basis to fight pandemics, climate change and biodiversity loss, and rebuild our crippled planet 🌎 to the benefit of our children & grandchildren

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

Seagrass converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and carbohydrates using sunlight.
1 square meter of Seagrass has the potential to produce up to 10 litres of oxygen per day.

To conserve #seagrass we need to know the areas around the world 🌏 that need our help. Using only 10% of the world’s known monitored seagrass, @turschwell predicts areas most at risk - providing a resource to guide funding & monitoring efforts.
