The world’s seagrass meadows capture and store enormous amounts of carbon, but they must be protected if the incredible work they do for our climate is to continue. A new global study predicts that protecting seagrass meadows that are “at-risk” could avert climate damages of more than $200 billion by stopping the release of over […]
