Coffee & Culture morning with Tim Gardiner

Ecologist, Biodiversity Officer at the Environment Agency.

Wednesday, 13th October - 11am

Keep off the (sea)grass!

Seagrasses are a vital component of coastal environments throughout the world, forming underwater meadows with a diverse fauna and flora. Seagrass meadows sequester carbon and store it for hundreds of years, even more effectively than rainforests. These carbon sinks have a range of benefits to coastal areas: seagrasses trap sediments, store nutrients and support commercial fisheries. Come and learn more about the seagrass meadows of Suffolk and what is being done to protect them from a range of threats.
