We know about seagrass and mangroves but muddy bottoms matter too.
New studies explore carbon stores in seabed sediments. The top 10cm of seabed mud around the UK may harness 3x more C than the country's remaining forests. Bottom trawling could release it again 🦑🧪

It almost seems like we should manage natural resources with the foundational principal of being precautionary in the face of unknown factors, like technological advancements in this case.
One of reasons I'm still all-systems-go on large marine protected areas is that the ocean and technology are changing rapidly.
We don't know what the most destructive exploitative use is going to be in 30 years, so the more ocean we can get under strong protections, the bigger a buffer we have.
