Deep Seagrass Bed Could Stall Climate Change, If Climate Change Doesn't Kill It First
Scientists have identified a giant bed of deep sea grass in Australia's Great Barrier Reef that may be absorbing millions of tons of carbon. But these so-called blue carbon sinks need protecting too.
Amid a sea of dire climate change news, researchers say they've found a rare bright spot.
A meadow of seagrass among Australia's Great Barrier Reef — estimated to be twice the size of New Jersey — is soaking up and storing carbon that would otherwise contribute to global warming.
Scientists call this carbon-removal powerhouse a "blue carbon sink." The term refers
