World Seagrass Day is celebrated annually on 1st March to raise awareness about seagrass and its important functions in the marine ecosystem.
The seagrasses are grass-like plants that live close to the sea. They are the only flowering plant to grow in the marine environment.
There are more than 60 seagrass species in the world. They act as the best carbon sink and provide food for marine life.
On 23 May 2022, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 1 March as World Seagrass Day, to be observed annually, and invited the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to facilitate the observance of the Day.
The 2023 celebration will be the first observance of World Seagrass Day.
