Seagrass meadows produce large volumes of sediment that can build coral reef island shorelines, increasing the resilience of low-lying reef island nations to future sea level rise, according to new research. Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots, slow climate change by storing carbon, and protect land from coastal erosion.
