The measurement of seagrass photosynthesis using pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry and its practical applications, specifically in regard to transplantation [PDF]
Photosynthetic activity of three seagrass species, Posidonia sinuosa Cambridge et Kuo, Posidonia australis Hook. f. and Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook., growing in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, was assessed using an underwater pulse amplitude ...

Epibionts and Epiphytes in Seagrass Habitats: A Global Analysis of Their Ecological Roles
Seagrass ecosystems support complex biological interactions that shape marine community structure and ecosystem functioning. Thanks to their structural complexity, they support heterogeneous communities and interact with associated benthic invertebrates ...

Does Warming Enhance the Effects of Eutrophication in the Seagrass Posidonia oceanica?
Seagrass meadows are disappearing at rates comparable to those reported for mangroves, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests. One of the main causes of their decline is the so-called cultural eutrophication, i.e., the input of abnormal amounts of ...

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

UNIQAT: An open‐source toolkit for reproducible image quality assessment in marine surveys
Abstract Modern marine surveys generate tens of thousands of underwater images per expedition, yet many are unusable due to image quality deterioration. Manual quality screening is labour‐intensive, subjective and inconsistent across observers and teams, hindering reproducible science, creating large backlogs of unprocessed imagery, and limiting real ...

ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

Marine algae and seagrasses of Bozcaada (Canakkale, Aegean Sea, Turkey)
The presence and the distribution of the cyanobacteria, red algae, brown algae, green algae and seagrasses were studied in the Bozcaada (Aegean Sea, Canakkale, Turkiye). In the study, 412 seaweeds and four seagrasses were determined.

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.
