Description Macroscopic marine algae popularly known as seaweeds and the submerged marine flowering
plants commonly known as Seagrasses constitute marine primary producers. Seaweed beds
along the rocky coasts and the extensive meadows of seagrasses are the most productive ecosystems
in marine environment. They are immensely capable of sequestering dissolved carbon dioxide
at faster rates and their role in containing ocean acidification in particular and in mitigating the
climate change impacts are well understood. Seaweeds consist of taxonomically distinguished
groups of Chlorophyta (green seaweeds), Phaeophyta (brown seaweeds) and Rhodophyta (red
seaweeds).
