Ancient Submerged Peat Forests Off Mozambique Now Host Thriving Marine Life

Peat forests that grew along Mozambique's coast thousands of years ago have sunk beneath the sea and become living marine ecosystems. Rising sea levels drowned these ancient forests, which have since merged with coral reefs. The result is greater biodiversity, with the reefs now providing shelter for a range of marine species. Because the peat is rich in stored carbon, the reefs are also relevant to climate planning. Researchers argue that these formations should be included in future conservation efforts.
