EDISVegetated coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses, store large amounts of carbon in plant biomass and underlying sediments, known as blue carbon. There is increasing interest among policymakers and natural resource managers

Life, 2020 Seagrasses as Posidonia oceanica reproduce mostly by vegetative propagation, which can reduce genetic variability within populations. Since, in clonally propagated species, insurgence of genetic variability can be determined by the activity of ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The present study analyses the spatio-temporal structuration of the molluscan fauna from four tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès. A total of 26 stations were sampled at four seasons from March 2016 to January 2017, leading to the identification of 2695 ...

Non‐seagrass carbon contributions to seagrass sediment blue carbon [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2017 AbstractNon‐seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass canopy or produced in situ. If allochthonous carbon fluxes are responsible for the non‐seagrass SOC in a given seagrass bed, this ...

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 ...

The perilous state of seagrass in the British Isles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Seagrass ecosystems face widespread threat from reduced water quality, coastal development and poor land use. In recent decades, their distribution has declined rapidly, and in the British Isles, this loss is thought to have been extensive.

Voices From the Coast: Stakeholder Participation and Perception on Creating a Marine Protected Area
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores participatory processes in the context of marine conservation, with a specific focus on recent initiatives undertaken by the Apulia region in Italy to establish a new Marine Protected Area (MPA). Employing a qualitative cross‐sectional methodology, the study investigates how local communities perceive and engage with the ...

Comparison of water velocity profiles through morphologically dissimilar seagrasses measured with a simple and inexpensive current meter [PDF]
, 2002 The influence of seagrass morphology on water flow was studied by measuring water velocity profiles through natural seagrass meadows. An array of eight solid-state electronic current meters was used to obtain profiles through meadows of Amphibolis ...
