Seagrass meadows sustain a dazzling array of species while bringing climate, social and economic benefits to people worldwide. And yet, seagrass is facing a steep decline: it's estimated that the equivalent of a football field worth of seagrass meadows is lost every 30 minutes.

But there is hope. Across the world, as part of the #OceanDecade, scientists and conservationists are researching and implementing solutions to protect and restore seagrass, including:

🌱 The Tanzania Ocean Climate Innovation Hub combines traditional knowledge with scientific advancements to advance nature-based solutions in the country, including through the restoration of 4 hectares of seagrass so far, directly empowering local communities while addressing global climate goals: https://ow.ly/4cmo50V7LL5 

🌱 As the first project of its kind in the UK, the Solent Seascape Project works with local communities to restore and reconnect four coastal habitats – seagrass beds, oyster reefs, saltmarsh and seabird nesting sites – creating a thriving, functioning seascape in the Solent Strait, in the south of the country: https://ow.ly/z1eg50V7LL7 

🌱 In India, as part of the C3-eKerala project lead by Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC), Norwegian and Indian scientists and experts are working together to assess the impact of climate change on Kerala’s marine coastal ecosystem, including seagrass beds and other vulnerable habitats: https://ow.ly/rzxS50V7LL6
