Seagrass is often mistaken for seaweed, but it is a completely different organism. Unlike seaweed, seagrass is a marine flowering plant that thrives in shallow coastal waters. It plays a vital role in marine ecosystems by acting as a natural engineer of the seafloor, providing essential habitats for countless marine species, enhancing coastal protection against erosion, and capturing and storing carbon. Beyond these functions, seagrass contributes to water quality, biodiversity, and the overall health of our oceans. Come and learn how we can all play a part in protecting and conserving seagrass habitats.
