Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots, natural coastal protectors, and powerful carbon sinks – yet they remain under-observed on a global scale. Recognised by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) as an EOV, Seagrass Cover and Composition provide vital insights into ocean health, ecosystem resilience, and climate mitigation. This webinar will introduce the Seagrass EOV, highlight its scientific and societal importance, and showcase how coordinated monitoring efforts connect local action to global solutions.
