Seagrass Sampling Methods in a Community‐Based Setting, A Comparative Analysis

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of seagrass is essential for the conservation of this critical marine ecosystem. The choice of monitoring method depends on balancing accuracy, efficiency, cost and accessibility, especially in contexts requiring community engagement and ownership.

Optimum Temperatures for Net Primary Productivity of Three Tropical Seagrass Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Rising sea water temperature will play a significant role in responses of the world's seagrass meadows to climate change. In this study, we investigated seasonal and latitudinal variation (spanning more than 1,500 km) in seagrass productivity, and the ...

Effective removal of methylated phenol and chlorinated phenol from aqueous solutions using a new activated carbon derived from Halodule uninervis waste

Colloid and Interface Science Communications, 2021
Abstract Due to the toxicity of methylated and chlorinated phenols, it is necessary to remove them from aqueous solutions. Therefore, a highly efficient adsorbent was developed from the dead leaves of Halodule uninervis seagrass (SG) through a chemical and thermal activation process.

Soil Carbon Stocks in Fijian Seagrass: Environmental Drivers, National Inventories, and Implications for Blue Carbon Accounting in Small Island Settings

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pacific island seagrass systems remain critically underrepresented in global blue carbon assessments despite their potential significance for climate mitigation. We present the first national‐scale assessment of seagrass soil carbon stocks for a Pacific island nation based on 135 sediment cores from 47 sites across Fiji.

Restoring Halodule uninervis: evaluating planting methods and biodiversity

Restoration Ecology
Seagrass provides a crucial habitat for numerous marine species and serves as a vital food source for endangered species, like dugongs. While extensive research on restoration has been conducted on certain temperate and slow‐growing climax seagrass species, limited attention has been given to tropical pioneer species.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 183-198, April 2026.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Diversity, cover, shoot density, and distribution of seagrasses in the coastal areas of Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental, Philippines

Davao Research Journal
Seagrass is a vital part of the coastal environment because it offers refuge, food, and protection for a variety of animals. Despite its ecological and economic importance, seagrass meadows are under threat globally due to natural and human-caused ...

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 292-304, April 2026.
Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.
