New Seagrass Recovery Website Promoting Seagrass Conservation

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, October 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) Seagrass Recovery, Inc., located in St. Petersburg, Florida, has launched a new website promoting seagrass conservation. The website was designed to provide concerned citizens, organizations, educational institutions, and corporations vital information on how to protect, restore and expand seagrass habitats. The new website is intended to better align Seagrass Recovery's branding to match its mission to save oceans, estuaries and shorelines for generations to come.

A recent article, "Seagrass ecosystems as a globally significant carbon stock", published online in the Nature Geoscience journal, indicates that seagrasses may represent a vital part of the solution to climate change and that seagrass meadows can store up to twice as much carbon per hectare as the world's terrestrial soils. Seagrasses have long been recognized for their many ecosystem benefits: carbon transformation, vital habitats for fisheries production, water quality, and protecting coastlines against erosion. According to this article, seagrasses are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. The article estimates that 29 percent of the seagrass meadows known to exist at the beginning of the 20th century have been destroyed by new coastal development, dredging and pollution introduced into the ocean.

For over a decade, Seagrass Recovery has been promoting seagrass conservation and successfully restoring seagrass habitats. The company has implemented over 150 seagrass projects successfully restoring a wide variety of seagrass habitats. Using the company's innovative methods and technologies, measurable seagrass restoration results have been typically achieved within 12-18 months. This success represents a paradigm shift in how seagrass restoration is applied and achieved. The company holds seven industry-specific patents. These seagrass restoration methods and technologies have been scientifically peer-reviewed and approved by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as well as by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

"We are very pleased and excited by our new website," said John Turner, President of Seagrass Recovery, Inc. "We feel the new website does an excellent job portraying our corporate mission and values, and gives prospective customers an opportunity to learn more about us, our capabilities, and most importantly provides concerned citizens, organizations, educational institutions, and corporations vital information on how best to protect, restore and expand seagrass habitats."
