Scientists equipped #sharks with cameras to map a carbon reservoir half the size of Florida. A massive survey of the #BahamasBanks — a cluster of underwater plateaus surrounding the #BahamaArchipelago — reveals 92,000 square km of #seagrasses. The finding expands the estimated global area covered by seagrass by 41%.
