Sea meadows provide a habitat and food for marine life, many of which rely on the dense canopies as their main source of nutrition. Sea turtles are often found grazing among the blades of grass and consume up to 2kg of them per day and every acre of seagrass can support over 40,000 fish. Smaller species attract bigger fish, seaborne birds and marine mammals like seals, whales and dolphins - it’s the foundation of an entire ecosystem.
