There are 5 species of seagrass in the Nature Coast, and that diversity might help our seagrasses withstand climate change. Dr. Jamila Roth tells us how in this webinar.
Both seagrasses and macroalgae are green and photosynthesize. Adam presents his research on how they are different and how plant cover type can impact what animals live there.
