The Bahamas Seagrass Meadow

Показать описание
Sharks are our greatest collaborators.

And through studying them in The Bahamas, they have led us to one of the greatest ocean discoveries of the decade.

We found the largest seagrass meadow on earth: up to 93,000 km² across the Great and Little Bahama Banks.

What does this mean? As Dr. Austin Gallagher and Dr. Carlos Duarte share, this has huge implications for our climate. Potentially the largest carbon sink in the world, this seagrass meadow discovery is a piece of ocean optimism–and a nature-based solution for protecting not just our planet, but ourselves.

Our blue carbon conservation research has just begun. And for our team, one thing is clear: continuing to protect sharks could safeguard our own species for decades to come.

Beautiful ocean, beautiful island, beautiful fish, but the most beautiful is the hearts of these people who dedicate their lives to protecting and saving these sharks through learning more about them to inform and educate the public. Marine biologists are real superheroes!! 🦈🌊💕
