Comprehensive monitoring and restoration solutions for healthy marine ecosystems.
Program Overview
What is the Seagrass Monitoring Program?
Seagrasses are the unsung heroes of our coastal ecosystems. This program empowers citizens like you to help protect and restore these critical habitats by monitoring and reporting observations. Your contributions provide invaluable data that scientists and policymakers rely on to ensure the future of our coastlines.
This program isn’t just about monitoring—it’s about taking action. By documenting seagrass health and identifying threats, you become part of the solution, directly influencing the preservation of marine biodiversity, the improvement of water quality, and the fight against climate change.
Why is this Program Important?
- The Lifeline of Coastal Ecosystems
Seagrass meadows are essential for marine life, acting as nurseries for fish, improving water quality, stabilizing shorelines, and capturing carbon to fight climate change. - A Habitat Under Threat
Despite their importance, seagrasses are disappearing at alarming rates due to pollution, boat damage, and changing climate. In some areas, over half of these vital ecosystems have already been lost. - Your Role in the Solution
Through community monitoring, we can track seagrass health and pinpoint threats before it’s too late. Every observation you report helps protect these ecosystems and the coastal communities that depend on them.
