Seagrass: Life in the Underwater Meadows

You dive down into a undersea meadow. Surrounded by blades of seagrass up to a meter tall, you begin to notice the abundant life all around. Schools of baby fish hide within the grassy maze as emerald sea slugs graze algae off the blades. Seagrass is an ocean-dwelling flowering plant, which provides a home for countless creatures. But these habitats are threatened around the world.
Hakai Institute researchers are mapping the seagrass meadows and cataloging their biodiversity to establish a baseline understanding of seagrass habitats along the Central Coast of British Columbia and how these seagrass meadows are changing over time.

That's great! We love when these videos are be used in classrooms!

Hello. I am a researcher for the National Museum of the Philippines. We are currently sourcing materials for seagrass, Can I get your permission to use part of this video?

[@HakaiVideos]

Get in touch via [e-mail] and tell us which part of the video you are interested in. We'll see what we can do!

seawalls are the main thing killing the seagrass around sw fl

[@anonymousfish2456]

unfortunately in Florida the amount of development taking place, especially along the coast is destroying a lot of habitats. Especially coastal habitats as we start developing on the barrier islands on the East Coast. I hope we change how we approach coastal systems, since they're some of the most important on Earth.
