The pristine seagrass beds seen in this image play a crucial role in filtering water, stabilizing sediments, and maintaining marine biodiversity. Seagrass ecosystems are often overlooked yet serve as vital carbon sinks, helping mitigate climate change. This image, part of the ResilienSEA project, highlights efforts to protect these valuable habitats in West Africa.
