<p>Defra recognises the role of blue carbon ecosystems including seagrasses, to remove
carbon from the atmosphere and store it for long periods of time as well as providing
multiple other benefits such as storm protection, improving water quality, and benefiting
biodiversity and fisheries.</p><p> </p><p>Our Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership
have assessed how seagrass habitats can be managed and protected in a changing climate
(<a href="http://www.mccip.org.uk/media/1816/mccip-seagrass.pdf" target="_blank">mccip-seagrass
report card</a>).</p><p> </p><p>Nature-based solutions, including the protection and
