The global distribution of seagrass meadows

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Seagrass meadows globally are under pressure with worldwide loss and degradation, but there is a growing recognition of the global importance of seagrass ecosystem services, particularly as a major carbon sink and as fisheries habitat.

Nitrogen uptake and internal recycling in Zostera marina exposed to oyster farming: eelgrass potential as a natural biofilter [PDF]

, 2016
Oyster farming in estuaries and coastal lagoons frequently overlaps with the distribution of seagrass meadows, yet there are few studies on how this aquaculture practice affects seagrass physiology.

Methane emission and sulfide levels increase in tropical seagrass sediments during temperature stress: A mesocosm experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Climate change‐induced ocean warming is expected to greatly affect carbon dynamics and sequestration in vegetated shallow waters, especially in the upper subtidal where water temperatures may fluctuate considerably and can reach high levels at low tides.

Coproduction of marine restoration with communities facilitates stronger outcomes

Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures
Near-shore marine habitats are well-documented as diverse and productive social-ecological systems; their degradation and loss have led to growing interest in marine restoration.

Conservation Concerns of Small-Scale Fisheries: By-Catch Impacts of a Shrimp and Finfish Fishery in a Sri Lankan Lagoon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
By-catch is considered a significant problem in large-scale fisheries yet in small-scale fisheries (SSF), employing >99% of the world's fishers, there is limited quantitative understanding of by-catch, and catches in general.

Home range and habitat use by Kemp's Ridley turtles in West-Central Florida [PDF]

, 2003
The Kemp's ridley turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) is an endangered species whose recovery depends in part on the identification and protection of required habitats.

THE POTENTIAL OF CARBON STOCKS IN SEAGRASS MEADOW IN THE WATERS OF MRICAN BEACH, BATULAWANG BEACH AND LAENDRA BEACH, KEMUJAN ISLAND, KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS [PDF]

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2022
Seagrass meadows in coastal ecosystems can absorb CO2 through photosynthesis. The results of carbon biomass absorption from the photosynthesis process of seagrass are stored in leaf, root, and rhizome tissues.

Changes in the juvenile fish assemblage of a Mediterranean shallow Posidonia oceanica seagrass nursery area after half a century [PDF]

, 2019
The within-year dynamics of the juvenile fish community in a shallow seagrass-dominated nursery habitat (Posidonia oceanica) in a Mediterranean bay were compared between two surveys separated by 50 years (1960 and 2012-2013).

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.
