Seagrass beds: essential but threatened ecosystems.
On March 1st, we celebrated World Seagrass Day!
For World Seagrass Day, let's shine the spotlight on the blue lungs of our oceans!
Seagrass meadows play a crucial role in the ecological balance of our oceans:
- They are home to exceptional biodiversity
- They stabilize sediments and protect coasts against erosion
- They improve water quality by capturing suspended particles
- They sequester large quantities of carbon, playing a key role in the fight against climate change.
Yet these ecosystems are under serious threat from boat anchors and moorings, which tear up the meadows, releasing stored carbon and reducing their capacity to regenerate. In just one night, a boat can cause wounds that will take over a century to heal!
At Temano, we're committed to a more respectful boating environment. Our ecological mooring solution helps preserve these fragile habitats:
- A chain-free mooring line to avoid scratching the seagrass beds
- An innovative, low-impact anchor, fixed in the substrate without damaging the seagrass beds
- A sustainable alternative to traditional moorings
By adopting respectful mooring solutions, we can reconcile boating activities with the preservation of seagrass beds!
Let's work together to protect these essential ecosystems! Are you involved in the boating industry or a yachtsman? Join us in this sustainable approach!
