Habitats of seabed dwelling creatures that store huge amounts of carbon threatened by fishing methods

The video discusses a project involving three organizations aimed at understanding carbon dynamics in the seabed. It highlights the Great British Bio Turbation Athon experiment, which studies how marine creatures affect carbon movement. The video emphasizes the importance of biodiversity in carbon capture and the need for robust data to support marine protection. It also addresses the progress in ocean science policy, the threats posed by industrial fishing, and the role of consumer choices in marine conservation.
