About our seabed
Over the last century, we have lost up to 80% of our seagrass meadows and they continue to decline globally at a rate of 7% per year.
Yet, seagrass is vital to our oceans. It is the world’s only flowering plant capable of living in seawater and an incredible ally in the fight against climate change.
Seagrasses can capture carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests and, even though it covers less than 1% of the seafloor, it globally accounts for 10-18% of total ocean carbon storage.
Our Mission
Our long-term vision is to see 5 hectares of this amazing habitat restored around Mission Beach by 2030. In the short term we are working with multiple donors and partners to plant 2 hectares of seagrass by 2026 and develop a mechanised restoration approach that will enable us to dramatically upscale future plantings.
We are also putting in place procedures to involve coastal communities and stakeholders in project design and implementation and create a sustainable seagrass restoration model that governments and stakeholders can roll out across the region.
We will continue to call on governments to both protect existing and restore these lush underwater meadows and for QLD to continue to be a global leader in restoring ocean health and combating climate change.
