Researchers carefully planting seagrass seedlings in a coastal environment as part of a restoration project to study sustainable growth methods.

CarbonEthics, in collaboration with the Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries (FIKP) at Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH), has made significant strides in advancing seagrass research. Their recent study, titled "The Influence of Planting Distance on Seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) Seedling Growth," was presented at the 3rd Maritime Continent Fulcrum International Conference (MaCiFIC 2023), held in September 2023. The research was subsequently published in August 2024 by Depik Unsyiah, emphasizing the value of scientific collaboration in addressing the complexities of marine restoration. This project was supervised by Aditya Hikmat Nugraha, a lecturer at the Marine Science Department at UMRAH, and funded through the Microgrant SOA 2021.

Seagrass Ecosystems: Unlocking the Depths of Carbon Capture


Seagrass ecosystems are crucial for coastal environments, serving multiple roles including habitat provision for marine life, resources for human communities, and significant contributions to carbon sequestration. These underwater plants are vital for maintaining ecological balance and supporting biodiversity.

Enhancing Seagrass Growth for Sustainable Restoration


However, restoring seagrass habitats poses challenges. Studies indicate that transplanting seagrass to new locations can disrupt existing ecosystems and diminish genetic diversity. Therefore, understanding the growth dynamics of seagrass seedlings is essential for effective restoration efforts.


The study conducted by CarbonEthics and UMRAH investigated how different planting distances affect the growth and development of seagrass seedlings cultivated in controlled aquarium settings. The findings underscored that optimizing planting distances is critical for promoting the sustainable growth of seagrass. This research not only contributes to the scientific understanding of seagrass ecology but also provides practical guidelines for restoration practices.

Join the Seagrass Restoration Movement


CarbonEthics emphasizes a science-based approach to conservation. We encourage community involvement in restoring seagrass ecosystems, recognizing that collective efforts can lead to significant environmental benefits. For those interested in supporting these initiatives or learning more about the research, further information can be found on our website. By fostering awareness and participation in seagrass restoration, we aim to enhance coastal resilience against climate change while promoting biodiversity and ecological health.
