A new study estimates that the degradation of mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes releases 26 tonnes of mercury globally every year 🌊🌱 @g3ca.bsky.social 

Mangroves, Salt Marshes and Seagrass Meadows Can Release Mercury When They Degrade or Disappear | CEAB

A new study reveals that these ecosystems, in addition to storing carbon, retain hazardous pollutants, including heavy metals such as mercury. The research estimates that their degradation and loss could release around 26 tonnes of this metal globally each year, highlights the associated risks, and identifies the regions of the world facing the greatest threat.… Mangroves, Salt Marshes and Seagrass Meadows Can Release Mercury When They Degrade or Disappear
