The voice of Seagrass meadows

The ugly duckling of the marine world
scientist lovingly calls me
An ecosystem on the decline
My legacy though is to sustain life
Of our precious underwater world
Please don’t let me die

The ocean nursery for all
A climate change fighter
I clean I protect I stabilize
In my habitats I feed all
A protector day in day out
Please don’t let me die

Everlasting purifier
Your carbon I swallow
I am the enemy of erosion
I am the perfect buffer
Protector of the vulnerable
Please don’t let me die

Listen to my whispers
Speaking of the wonders
The timeless cleaning
The everlasting protecting
Of your world under the sea
Please don’t let me die
