Join Elisabeth Sellinger and Mazie Lewis for a day of seagrass meadow monitoring research in Elkhorn Slough. A nursery habitat for many marine animals, including mammals, shellfish and fish, seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems. But their benefits don’t just touch the ocean-dwellers of our planet.

At the most recent Davis Science Café, Professor Tessa Hill, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, discussed the rapid changes occurring in the oceans due to human-induced climate change. But a potential solution may reside in the disappearing seagrass beds hugging the California coastline.
