Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2025
- Once considered the ugly duckling of environmental conservation, seagrass is emerging as a powerful tool for climate action. From drawing down carbon to filtering plastic pollution, marine scientist Carlos M. Duarte details the incredible things this oceanic hero does for our planet -- and shows ingenious ways he and his team are protecting and rebuilding marine life.
Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at countdown.ted....

Wonderful presentation. Those 12 minutes ate me up and i have nothing to do with marine biology. Thoroughly informative and interesting from beginning to end. More sea grass please! Restore, protect, rebuild our marine ecosystems.
This is a little gem of good news. Thanks for your work which is probably under appreciated.
We need this video to get out there. It is a piece of the jigsaw back despite us being late.
God bless your work.
It's almost as if we are living in a biosphere that had to deal with negative aspects of climate change for a two or three billion years and is still kicking despite natures innumerable attempts to kill it. Who would have thunk...
I remember seeing seagrass in the Netflix documentary "our planet" and was totally mesmerised by the view. Great to learn that they play such a huge part in carbon sequestering!
Fantastic. This is much needed. Now let's get the word out to everyone. I love Oceanography as it, haven taken some courses in college... even then I realized how little we knew. Now I see we still know barely anything, but you just opened something great. We never really talked about sea grass (40 years ago)... I really loved being instructed by you on this. Good luck.
The ocean is huge and a key part of growing seagrass but also seaweed that we can eat. It doesn't need fresh water and it consumes carbon and it even provides a home for many other sea creatures.
Algae in freshwater if they can grow it to help control climate too and substitute some plastics

AMAZING!!! 🤩🌱💗 Life / Water holds memory. Imagine the memories in that age old LIFE? I will keep using the Mantra… Heal the Water! 💧 Heal the World 🌎 ✌️💗🙌
The Water, Quartz and Bloodlines all contain the Akashic Record. I dig it.
Great hopeful talk!
Grande fratello le nostre persone e i nostri bambini meritano una grande famiglia e dunque di edificare e stabilire la fauna marina a proteggere gli oceani saggiamente.
Cosmos,life and consciousness are quantum(Dirac),molecular(Dawkins) and memetic(Dennet) respectively
Do the sea grasses that live along lakes have the same effect?
I felt like I was back in college lol, professor
Save Our Planet Now
The Planet Earth has survived on its own for millions of years. Stay Strong and take notes!!!!
The problem isn't Earth's survival but our survival and the ecosystem we depend on. Even if we ignore the obvious problems and go the way of the dinosaurs new life will emerge slowly and the Earth will have a different ecosystem. We are killing off our own life-support.
Grande uomo e grande speranza per il nostro futuro la piu bella aspirazione è salvare il pianeta e dunque ristabilire la fauna marina e il raffreddamento globale attraverso transizioni ecologiche verso comunità ecologiche sempre piu grandi superando povertà , incendi , crimini e violenze verso le donne.
That's amazing
لعل القارئ يصلى على النبى محمد فيزيدنى درجه ويزداد درجات ❤❤🤲
Very informative and interesting knowledge...
Plant more then?
9:19
Pollute less
With directed evolution this genome needs to be extended to other species
If only biodome project knew this
Could concrete be made with this seagrass? ⚖⚠️
Does this grass attack in anyway other onder water growth? like weeds to a garden? so therefore must be planned accordingly ?
Right
How cool! Another reason to justify our nonstop consumption and pollution!!
🙏🏻🍀💚
Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos 🎈
Amazing how God plans everything out. Amazing.
Jesus loves you he died on the cross for your sins. All you have to do is believe in him and you will be saved. ❤
Hlo everybody
How is your life going after connecting TED
What I find amazing is that 97% of Co2 is naturally occurring. And storms are linked for solar activity.
What about pollution and oceanic dead zones due to toxic runoff?
@@arturogomeztagle9748 no denying any of that my friend, I wish I could ban plastics today, but you must understand climate change is natural, if it was not most of Europe would still be covered in Ice. Destruction of the eco system is man made 100%.
