glennmagusharveyA #seagrass bed spanning 359 ha (887 ac) was found during a survey of #StAustellBay off the coast of #Cornwall, #England. It's one of the largest known seagrass beds in the #UK.
As the article notes, seagrass beds have #CarbonSequestration and #biodiversity benefits and were historically present off the UK's coasts before the #IndustrialRevolution.
