Kenya and Madagascar’s seagrass meadows are making a comeback

Beneath the waves of Kenya and Madagascar, an underwater revolution is unfolding.

Seagrass meadows—often overlooked yet vital—are finally being recognized for their immense value.

These marine plants not only provide shelter for countless species but also serve as powerful carbon sinks, helping to combat climate change.

However, they are disappearing at an alarming rate due to human activity and environmental threats.

In a groundbreaking effort, conservationists, scientists, and local communities have joined forces to map and protect these vital ecosystems.

Initiatives like the Large-Scale Seagrass Mapping and Management Initiative (LaSMMI) and the Great Blue Wall are paving the way for a future where seagrass thrives.

Discover how these hidden underwater forests are being restored, why they matter more than ever, and how local communities are leading the charge in saving them.
