"#WestCoast policymakers should look to #eelgrass meadows and other tidal #wetland habitats to play a critical role in the [#ClimateResilience] effort. These habitats capture and store #carbon, filter excess nutrients from the water, produce #oxygen, and help protect coastal communities from #floods and #StormSurge. Healthy eelgrass meadows also provide vital habitat for salmon, Dungeness crab, and other #wildlife that are important to the region’s economy. "
