Measurements and modeling of acoustic propagation in a seagrass meadow [PDF]
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2018 This talk presents results from an acoustic propagation experiment conducted in the Lower Laguna Madre to characterize the acoustical properties of a seagrass meadow. At the location of the experiment, the water was one meter deep, and the seabed was covered by a dense growth of Thalassia testudinum, a type of seagrass that grows from a long, jointed ...

Seagrass Resource Assessment Using WorldView-2 Imagery in the Redfish Bay, Texas
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 Seagrass meadows play important roles as habitats for many marine organisms, traps for sediment, and buffers against wave actions. The objective of this paper is to map seagrass meadows in the Redfish Bay, Texas from WorldView-2 imagery. Seagrass meadows

A Review of Factors Influencing the Seagrass-Sea Cucumber Association in Tropical Seagrass Meadows
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 In the tropical ecosystem, sea cucumbers are associated with seagrass meadows in various ways, often forming a network of ecological interactions. From this myriad of interactions, the trophic relationship between the seagrasses and sea cucumbers has ...

Seagrass Meadows Provide a Significant Resource in Support of Avifauna
Diversity, 2021 Seagrass meadows are known to be rich in fauna, with complex food webs that provide trophic subsidy to species and habitats way beyond the extent of their distribution. Birds are an often-overlooked part of marine ecosystems; not only are they crucial to

Substantial blue carbon sequestration in the world’s largest seagrass meadow
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Seagrass meadows are important sinks for organic carbon and provide co-benefits. However, data on the organic carbon stock in seagrass sediments are scarce for many regions, particularly The Bahamas, which accounts for up to 40.7% of the documented ...

Biogeomorphology of the Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016 AbstractHere we review the multiple interactions between the endemic Mediterranean seagrass, Posidonia oceanica, and coastal geomorphologic processes as an outstanding example of biogeomorphology, taking into account recent advances in the field. Seagrass meadows are among the most important elements for the functioning of marine coastal ecosystems ...
