Seagrasses Capture Carbon 35 Times Faster Than Tropical Rainforests. Scientists Are Working to Save Them - Inside Climate News An underwater gardening experiment along the East Coast aims to restore a type of seagrass called eelgrass, at risk of extinction due to rising sea surface temperatures.

Seagrasses sequester up to 18 percent of carbon stored in the ocean, capturing it 35 times faster than tropical rainforests. But the natural meadows of eelgrassβ€”the most common type of seagrass found along the East Coast of the U.S.β€”are vanishing.
