 In addition to providing habitat, eelgrass helps reduce coastal erosion by stabilizing seafloor sediment. And it also pulls planet-warming carbon pollution out of the atmosphere. Conservationists have now spread eelgrass seeds over hundreds of acres of seafloor. And the eelgrass has spread out even farther on its own. We've gone from zero to nearly 10,000 acres. And that can help Virginia reduce coastline erosion and climate change.
