Seagrass meadows were once common around the U.K. coast, but more than 90 percent have been lost as a result of algae-boosting pollution, anchor damage, and port and marina building. The meadows, however, store carbon 35 times faster than tropical rainforests and harbor up to 40 times more marine life than seabeds without grass, facts that are driving the effort to bring them back.
