Biodiversity in seagrass meadows in contrast to adjacent bare sand habitats of Foros Bay (Bulgarian Black Sea coast) assessed using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding [PDF]
Nature ConservationThe present study presents an initial eDNA-based assessment of metazoan biodiversity associated with Zostera seagrass meadows and neighbouring bare sand habitats in Foros Bay, located along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

The role of intertidal seagrass Zostera spp. in sediment deposition and coastal stability in the Tay Estuary, Scotland [PDF]
, 2012 The Tay estuary is situated on the east coast of Scotland. The estuary is dominated by sediment biotopes, including mudflats which support sparse beds of two nationally scarce seagrass species, Zostera marina var. angustfolia (Hornem.) and Z.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Seagrasses are present in the entire coastal habitats around the world. These coastal habitats provide many goods and services which maintain the integrity of coastal ecosystems and consequently the quality of human life of the communities involved.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.
