Teatales: why did I bury teabags in seagrass meadows?

For the citizen science project TeaBagIndex, I buried teabags in seagrass meadows to assess decomposition rate within these systems, and to learn what the impact is of turtle grazing on carbon cycling. This is a quantified method to study the carbon cycle across the globe in different habitats. See the video below to learn more about this easy and interesting method and some of my results!
