Let's talk about an unsung hero of the sea: eelgrass! Healthy eelgrass beds: 💧 Improve water quality 🌊 Stabilize sediment and coastal erosion 🌱 Store carbon (5x more carbon than a terrestrial forest!) 🐠 And are home to a diverse community of creatures. To help protect this species, our scientists in @nature.ny are turning to trees all the way in Arizona for an innovative solution. Visit the link in bio to learn more.
