Seagrasses and Mangroves

Jun 15, 2010

An ancient species of flowering plants that grow beneath the surface of the world's oceans, seagrasses link coastal coral reefs with mangrove forests along the coastline. Today, these "prairies of the sea," along with mangroves, are declining globally. Scientists fear the diminishing vegetation could lead to an ecosystem collapse from the base of the food chain all the way to the top. Changing Seas joins experts in the field as they work to restore Florida's vital mangroves and seagrasses. Seagrasses and mangroves are "hotspots of biodiversity" since they attract and support a variety of marine life. However, damage and removal of these plants continue across the globe at a rapid pace. 'Changing Seas' journeys along Florida's coastline to better understand the significant roles mangroves and seagrasses play within the state.
