Nature World News: It's no secret that greenhouse gas levels across the globe are approaching worrying levels, trapping heat and warming our seas. Marine habitats full of vegetation are some of the best 'carbon-sinks' out there, naturally mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. New research has found however, that if ocean predators decline, so will these essential seagrass beds, salt marshes, and mangroves.

What "our paleoclimate records tell us is that this drying is really unusual in the context of the last 2,000 years," says study lead author Jessica Tierney, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Arizona.
