World Seagrass Day is celebrated annually on March 1 to raise awareness about the ecological importance of seagrass and to promote global conservation efforts. Seagrass plays a crucial role in maintaining marine ecosystems by supporting biodiversity, stabilizing coastlines, and acting as a carbon sink. The observance was officially declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2022, following a resolution proposed by Sri Lanka. The goal is to emphasize the need to preserve seagrass to protect marine life and the environment.
