In the #ENGAGE_prin project, we are exploring how species interactions in #seagrass meadows can boost resilience against climate change. Check out our latest experiment at Livorno Aquarium! Follow us here and at marinesymbiomes.eu/engage #MarineScience #MarineSymbiomes
Submit your abstract to our ASLO–SIL 2026 session!
If your waters bubble, breathe, or burp, join SS002 – “Gassy Waters” to explore gas fluxes across the aquatic continuum.

See you in Montreal, 12–16 May 2026!

A new global analysis reveals that if we allow seagrass decline to continue unchecked, as much as 1,154 Tg of Carbon Dioxide could be released back into the atmosphere from meadows at risk, accelerating the climate crisis we are trying to prevent.
