When it comes to protecting the ocean, often the biggest players are the ones we barely notice.

Take simple eelgrass. This unassuming plant quietly holds the ocean together by cleaning the water, protecting shorelines from erosion, storing carbon, and creating critical habitat for marine life.

‍

Every year, eelgrass is disappearing at a rate of 7%, so 11th Hour Racing is passionately supporting critical projects to help restore it.

‍

In the video above, discover how Save the Sound is using clams to restore disappearing eelgrass habitats and how the Novak Lab is helping eelgrass survive warming waters by increasing its genetic diversity.

‍

Keep watching and you'll also learn how through simple changes on land, we can all help protect marine habitats, improve water quality, and support long-term ocean health.

Steve Benjamin, filmmaker “I really want people to fall in love with the ocean, to appreciate it more, and to try to alter their behavior around it. Everything ends up in the ocean, and it’s such a dumping ground for humanity. My hope is that people see the ocean as a living entity that needs to be protected.”

Amory Ross, storyteller “How can I describe the ocean? The ocean is impossible to describe because it is endless; it is full of life, wonder, and mystery.”
