The environment for seagrass to grow is in marine ecosystem. Providing habitat for marine biota is the seagrass’ primary role. Aside from that, seagrass is also able to absorb and store carbon, thus reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. Seagrass live best in a shallow marine water body and estuary. Seagrass ecosystem are located across the seacoast, with less than 5 meters depth.
