seagrass is vital• the nurseries of the sea

• improves water clarity

• protects our coasts and beaches

• long-term carbon sequestration

Page 3: a project of: tell us what you want to do for the ocean, we will take care of the rest!

but seagrass needs help• boat groundings and prop scars

• dredging and coastal construction

• nutrient pollution

• rapid environmental change

Page 4: a project of: tell us what you want to do for the ocean, we will take care of the rest!

our oceans are changing• global carbon emissions

• warming ocean temperatures

• sea level rise

• ocean acidification

solution: restoration• containerized sediment

• reseeding new meadows

• transplanting

• as part of large restoration projects

Page 6: a project of: tell us what you want to do for the ocean, we will take care of the rest!

solution: Blue Carbon • seagrass, mangroves, salt marsh

• preservation and management

• international protocol needed

• Blue Climate Solutions
