Seagrass Programmes

Seagrass refers to species of marine grasses that play a vital role in coastal ecosystems. They have a unique ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO₂) over the long term.

Why Seagrass Matters?

  • Seagrass can store 1000 tons of CO₂ per hectare, which is higher than terrestrial forests.
  • Provides habitat for fish, shrimp, and other marine organisms, enhancing biodiversity.
  • Prevents coastal erosion and protects shorelines from storms and tsunamis.
  • Improves water quality by filtering pollutants.
  • Acts as a natural barrier for coastal communities.
