Film still from The seagrass dance (2026)
At a coastal location near you, a team of dedicated stewards collect and shelter the seeds of seagrass—a type of subaquatic vegetation that potently captures and stores carbon, while providing abundant benefits beyond sequestration to flora and fauna alike. These guardians labor daily to keep the seeds viable over the hot summer months, preparing to scatter them over sandy ocean floors come fall, and expand healthy underwater meadows of seagrass faster than they would without human intervention, or cultivate entirely new marine biomes. This is the ultimate, step-by-step guide to their rituals of devotion: a story of the sensuality and beauty of human care for plant life.
