US EditionScientists search for climate change answers in Quebec sea floor
Small sea floor creatures in Quebec's Saguenay fjord help store carbon and maintain ecosystem health, highlighting the importance of protecting these vital carbon sinks, researchers say.
- Scientists from the UK and Université Laval spent several days on the Saguenay fiord in Quebec, grabbing samples from 200 metres below to track life in the mud.
- The research is part of the Convex Seascape Survey, exploring how the sea floor regulates climate through carbon sequestration and the role of small animals in the mud.
- The samples revealed a tiny world teeming with life like worms, brittle stars and bivalves, which help keep the sea floor healthy and support the marine ecosystem.
