Worldwide seaweeds are saving the equivalent of carbon dioxide emitted by more than 300,000 cars each year, according to new research – which also shows that the amount of sugar released by seagrasses would be enough to produce dozens of billions of sugary fizzy drinks.
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, northern Germany, say that up to 1.6 million tons of sugar could be emitted by seagrass into their soil worldwide.
