Refinements in Eelgrass Mapping at Tabusintac Bay (New Brunswick, Canada): A Comparison between Random Forest and the Maximum Likelihood Classifier: Raffinements de la cartographie de la zostère dans la baie de Tabusintac (Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada): une comparaison entre Random Forest et la méthode de classification par maximum de vraisemblance

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) is a marine angiosperm plant that grows throughout coastal areas in Atlantic Canada. Eelgrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services while they have been acknowledged as important habitats, their location, extent, and ...

Genetic structure and diversity of the seagrass Zostera marina along a steep environmental gradient, with implications for genetic monitoring

Frontiers in Climate, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal zones in the northern hemisphere. Eelgrass is declining across its distribution, a trend likely to accelerate under climate change.

On the edge: assessing fish habitat use across the boundary between Pacific oyster aquaculture and eelgrass in Willapa Bay, Washington, USA

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Estuaries are subject to diverse anthropogenic stressors, such as shellfish aquaculture, which involve extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas aquaculture is a century-old practice in US West Coast estuaries that ...

Eelgrass biomass (dry weight) measured through a multi-factorial in situ experiment of 10 weeks in a eelgrass bed in St. Lawrence Estuary (Baie-Saint-Ludger, Canada)

, 2021
We evaluated single and interactive effects of density reduction of Zostera marina L., a habitat-forming species, shading, and sediment nutrient enrichment on the response of intertidal epibenthic macro-species abundances.

Restoring eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) habitats using a simple and effective transplanting technique.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Eelgrass beds in coastal waters of China have declined substantially over the past 30 years. In this study, a simple new transplanting technique was developed for eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) restoration.

Potential impacts of finfish aquaculture on eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds and possible monitoring metrics for management: a case study in Atlantic Canada [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) has been designated an Ecologically Significant Species in Atlantic Canada. The development and rapid expansion of netpen finfish aquaculture into sensitive coastal habitats has raised concerns about the impacts of finfish ...

Effects of Seagrass Wasting Disease on Eelgrass Growth and Belowground Sugar in Natural Meadows

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem benefits but are at risk from disease. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a temperate species threatened by seagrass wasting disease (SWD), caused by the protist Labyrinthula zosterae.

Influence of Rising Water Temperature on the Temperate Seagrass Species Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) in the Northeast USA

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in ...

An ancient eelgrass clone in the Baltic [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1999
We report that an eelgrass bed Zostera marina L. at the Aland Islands, northern Baltic Sea, is dominated by a. single genotype which extends over an area of approximately 160 x 40 m. In total, 47 individuals were sampled and genotyped for 6 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci.

Changes in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in the Little Narragansett Bay Estuary Between 2019 and 2022

Coasts
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a native perennial marine angiosperm found in shallow bays and estuaries. Eelgrass beds are considered essential fish habitats and provide an important food source for marine organisms and waterfowl.
