How did seagrass recover after hurricanes devastated Florida?

Seagrass made a comeback after big storms hit Florida, just like how grass grows back after a trampoline bounces really high and squishes it down.

Big hurricanes are like giant waves on a trampoline, they crash down and cover everything under the water. This pushes seagrass around and can even bury it in sand, making it hard to get light from the sun, which is how seagrass eats.

After the storm passed, like after you jump off a trampoline and it goes back up, the water started moving again. This helped seagrass reach sunlight once more. Plus, tiny animals that live near the seagrass, like little snails or crabs, helped clean up the sand, giving the seagrass room to grow.

It’s like when you spill cereal on the floor and then your brother helps you pick it up, everything gets better faster! Over time, the seagrass came back strong, just like a trampoline bouncing back after being squished.
