When the seabed was inspected, it was found to have massive amounts of sugar in their soil systems. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology have found mountains of sugar beneath seagrass meadows across the world's oceans. Seagrass meadows are extremely efficient at capturing carbon, and are one of the world's top carbon capturing ecosystems. When the seabed around these meadows were inspected, it was found to have massive amounts of sugar in their soil systems. While this is an extremely new discovery, seagrass meadows are among the most threatened habitats on Earth.
