New research from the European Commission shows how biodiversity loss in the oceans can be reversed through habitat restoration. By reintroducing seagrass and corals to damaged seafloor habitats in the Mediterranean, scientists were able to ward off the worst of the biodiversity loss and saw 50-90% of the animals return to the ecosystem after only a few years. ...

This article in Science explains why even small mangrove patches are valuable, providing substantial ecosystem services relative to their size and buffering coastal communities from storms. The authors make the point that even the loss of a small patch of mangrove forest can drastically reduce coastal resilience, particularly in low-lying areas vulnerable to sea level rise.

Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation shared a post.

Really makes one stop and think about the impact we are having on #OurPlanet.
