Quote:Meadows of seagrass found in the Mediterranean Sea are likely to be thousands of years old, a study shows.
Researchers found genetically identical samples of Posidonia oceanica up to 15km apart, which suggested that the species was extremely long-lived.
The team added that the organism - which provides food and shelter for many species - is under threat from climate change.

"Seagrasses are sometimes labeled ecosystem engineers, because they partly create their own habitat: the leaves slow down water-currents increasing sedimentation, and the seagrass roots and rhizomes stabilize the seabed."
