Photo by @CristinaMittermeier // Marine grasslands are beautiful and important for many reasons. They serve as sanctuary and nursery to many species of small fish, sea turtles and sharks. They are also powerful carbon sinks that help absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. I loved snorkeling over vast expanses of these grasslands in the Gardens of the Queen archipelago of Cuba. Always surprised and delighted to find a small critter hiding in the grass.
