Caribbean seagrasses provide services worth $255B annually, including vast carbon storage, study shows

Discussions of valuable but threatened ocean ecosystems often focus on coral reefs or coastal mangrove forests. Seagrass meadows get a lot less attention, even though they provide wide-ranging services to society and store lots of climate-warming carbon. But the findings of a new U-M-led study show that seagrass ecosystems deserve to be at the forefront of the global conservation agenda, according to the authors. It’s the first study to put a dollar value on the many services provided by seagrasses across the Caribbean, and the numbers are impressive.
