58: Why seagrass is vital to slow Climate Change with Mark Parry
Why is seagrass crucial for our planets natural carbon cycle? How do we protect the biodiversity of seagrass? How is seagrass affected by fertilizer? What can we do to help protect our coastal environments? In todays episode with Mark Parry who is the Development Officer at the Ocean Conservation Trust, we chat about all things seagrass. This has been one of the head projects that focuses on education, conservation, and collaboration. Seagrass has recently gained some notoriety and is finally getting the attention it deserves.
