New Findings on Seagrass Carbon Sequestration in North Africa

Groundbreaking research published by Dr. Fatima Hassan and Dr. Nadia Belmahdi reveals that North African seagrass meadows store significantly more carbon than previously estimated.

The study, covering coastlines from Morocco to Egypt, found that these underwater meadows sequester up to 35% more carbon per hectare than global averages, highlighting their importance for marine CDR strategies in the region.
