Marine Monitoring Program Annual Report 2021-22 Inshore Seagrass Monitoring [PDF]

, 2023
This document reports on the long-term health of inshore seagrass meadows in the Great Barrier Reef (the Reef). Results are presented in the context of the pressures faced by the ecosystem. Long-term health of inshore seagrass meadows is measured through

Environmental Cues Driving Germination of Zostera muelleri: Critical Steps Towards Seed‐Based Seagrass Restoration in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Seagrasses are globally important ecosystems that provide critical services, yet are rapidly declining, driving a need for restoration. While seed‐based restoration offers potential for large‐scale recovery, success is often limited at early recruitment stages.

Impacts of dredging and restoration on sedimentary carbon stocks in seagrass meadows of Pari Island, Indonesia

Scientific Reports
The effects of dredging and restoration on carbon sequestration in seagrass sediments is not well understood. Our knowledge is derived from few studies conducted in areas affected by dredging or restoration, the majority of which are from temperate ...

Seed to meadow - developing intertidal seagrass restoration

, 2023
In coastal waters around the globe, seagrasses form the basis of productive ecosystems. Unfortunately, these valuable ecosystems have suffered massive losses during the last century and are in dire need of effective conservation measures. In this thesis, we investigated if and how eelgrass (Zostera marina) can be restored in the intertidal Wadden Sea ...

Linking Morphological and Genetic Differentiation Among Populations in Seagrass Species With Contrasting Dispersal Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We surveyed leaf length and genetic variation in two seagrass species with contrasting life histories across a natural environmental gradient and conducted a common garden experiment to assess variability in an ecologically important trait. Our results demonstrate that responses to environmental change can differ across seagrass species, in which the ...

Keep off the grass: Using herbivore exclusion cages to understand herbivory in seagrass meadows [PDF]

, 2018
Seagrasses provide important habitat that delivers ecosystem services and provides food to a wide diversity of herbivores globally. In the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) we find the full size spectrum of herbivores; from small mesograzers such as amphipods, to

Taking the Pulse of Resilience in Conserving Seagrass Meadows

Integrative And Comparative Biology
Synopsis Foundational habitats such as seagrasses and coral reefs are at severe risk globally from climate warming. Infectious disease associated with warming events is both a cause of decline and an indicator of stress in both habitats.

People are good at stewardship

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 11, Page 3874-3881, November 2026.
Abstract Environmental sciences and policy have long been framed on the premise that environmental harm is an expression of human nature rather than a product of specific historical and political arrangements. This framing has shaped a generation of interventions designed to constrain human behaviour rather than enable human capacity.

Satellite‐Based Assessment Reveals Patterns of Coastal Marsh Carbon Sequestration Along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Coastal marshes are critical blue‐carbon ecosystems, yet regional quantification of vegetation‐derived carbon burial and living biomass carbon stocks within marshes remains limited. Here, we developed a transparent, measurement‐based framework integrating Sentinel‐2 data (2019–2024), field biomass measurements, marsh‐type distribution maps ...

A validated 3D point‐cloud analysis workflow for the creation of seagrass canopy height models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 3136-3156, November 2026.
Abstract Seagrasses support highly productive ecosystems in both temperate and tropical waters and provide essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the vertical structure of seagrasses (i.e. the canopy) remains poorly characterised at the microscale, even though it is a strong predictor of ecological processes that influence both ...
