Seagrass-Watch: increasing the charisma of seagrass through education and awareness

, 2012
Despite their important ecological role, the public’s perception of seagrasses is not as great as other marine ecosystems. With global seagrass losses reported to be equivalent to one football field very 30 minutes, seagrass ecosystems are facing a ...

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows¬–some of the most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet.

On the wave attenuation properties of seagrass meadows [PDF]

Coastal Engineering
The wave attenuation properties of seagrass meadows were investigated in a flume facility using dynamicallyscaled models of seagrass exposed to regular long crested waves. Experiments were conducted for 66 wave conditions and with four plant densities; waves were measured with eight resistance wave gauges.

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Sediment inorganic carbon (PIC) deposits in seagrass meadows and adjacent sand-patches

, 2015
The database compiles published and unpublished data on carbonate (CaCO3) and/or particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) along with particulate organic carbon (POC) stocks if available, in sediments of seagrass meadows and adjacent un-vegetated patches.

Shrinking seagrass meadows observations from four Lagoons of Lakshadweep Archipelago [PDF]

, 2019
Seagrass meadows worldwide are declining fast, taking with them many species which depend on these underwater prairies as their habitat and feeding as well as breeding grounds. Our results obtained on the biomass and density of seagrass vegetation in the

International principles and standards for the practice of ecological restoration. Third edition

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue S2, June 2026.
Abstract Introduction Growth in understanding of ecological restoration necessitates updated guidance for effective, equitable, and outcome‐oriented restoration across terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems. The third edition of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) International Principles and Standards for the Practice of
