Seagrasses Roll in Sequestering Carbon

Sea grasses form thick, complex habitat that sometimes extends for hundreds of hectors. As those plants die and recover and regenerate, alot of carbon doesn't get washed away or degrade. But at the same time, you've got all these sort of leaves that are in the water column. And what they do is act like a really big filter,. Whether it be dead bits of seaweed, dead bits of animal, and gets sucked and basinly trapped into that sea grass meadow. It actually gets locked into that one habitat.
