Seagrass restoration trials in tropical seagrass meadows of Kenya

Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2022
The degradation of seagrasses is becoming prevalent in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region due to anchor damage, sea urchin herbivory, extreme events such as cyclones and floods and anthropogenic factors such as pollution and sediment inflows. Consequently, there have been numerous efforts to advance the restoration of degraded seagrass beds in ...

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.
