As we are wrapping up #SeagrassAwarenessMonth it's important to remember as water from our Florida rivers flows into the ocean, inland pollution, nutrient runoff, and land erosion can cause nutrient overloads that are detrimental to seagrasses.
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? As water flows from our FL rivers into the ocean, inland pollution, nutrient runoff, and land erosion can cause nutrient overloads detrimental to the health of seagrass beds.
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? By trapping sediments and slowing the flow of ocean water, seagrass beds can help protect our coastlines and reduce flooding from storm surged and hurricanes.
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? There are over 60 species of seagrass found worldwide and seven grow in Florida waters!
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? Seagrass requires light for photosynthesis, and therefore grows only in relatively shallow in-shore areas that sunlight can penetrate!
As Seagrass Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re reminded just how important these underwater meadows are.
By learning about and protecting seagrass habitats, we can all help ensure these incredible ecosystems continue to thrive for generations to come. 🌊
#SeagrassAwarenessMonth
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? Although named for its resemblance to terrestrial grass, seagrass is more closely related to lilie and ginger!
We’re kicking off a short series celebrating one of the ocean’s most important ecosystems.
Stay tuned this month as we explore why seagrass matters and how these underwater meadows help keep our seas healthy. 🌊
#SeagrassAwarenessMonth
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! DYK? Seagrass provides food for many different animals, including #manatees!
Seagrass is an ocean hero! It can fight climate change, improve water quality and reduce coastal erosion.

March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth! Learn more about manatees and seagrass by following us along this month!
March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth - let's learn how to protect seagrass!
You can do your part by going fertilizer free for manatees - take the pledge at fertilizerfree.org
Finally, 1 ha. of sand now visible from the air! 1800 tons on site. Next step, planting 80,000 eelgrass shoots in June to flip the system from bare sand/macroalgae to seagrass in Sweden #eelgrass #SeagrassAwarenessMonth #zorrogroup #restorationecology @ProjectSeagrass
1800 tonnes of sand will hopefully facilitate the largest #eelgrass restoration to date in Sweden. English version of the sand-capping news article —>@Sea_and_Society @ProjectSeagrass #SeagrassAwarenessMonth

What a better thing to do on #WorldSeagrassDay than working on seagrass restoration in the field on a sunny day! Happy seagrass day! #zorrogroup #eelgrass #restoration #SeagrassAwarenessMonth
On #WorldSeagrassDay we are excited to announce our appearance on twitter! Since 2011 ZORRO has worked on improving #restoration and management of #eelgrass in Sweden. Lots of newly funded projects are on the go and field season starts early this year! #SeagrassAwarenessMonth

“Seagrasses are the forgotten #ecosystem” Ronald Jumeau, a #UnitedNations representative from #Seychelles, writes in a 2020 UN report.
Today is not just #WorldSeagrassDay, but also the start of #SeagrassAwarenessMonth. A great day to support & learn more about these ecosystems.
Another new exciting outreach video on Swedish eelgrass. At the moment only in Swedish, but soon an English version!!! #seagrass #ISBW13 @ISBW2018 #SeagrassAwarenessMonth #WorldSeagrassDay @ProjectSeagrass #WSC2018
