If rainforests are considered the lungs of the earth, seagrasses are sometimes thought to be the lungs of the sea. But what is seagrass and why should we protect it?

Ba Nyamo Tanko’s Omar Sanneh was live on Good Morning Gambia to raise awareness of seagrass and inform everyone about the Ba Nyamo Tanko project to restore and conserve seagrass in The Gambia.

Ba Nyamo Tanko, meaning Conserving Seagrasses in Mandika, is a new initiative unique to The Gambia and West Africa, aiming to restore, manage and strengthen the capacity for seagrass conservation in The Gambia.
