Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015 Both seagrasses and bivalve shellfish provide valuable ecosystem services in estuaries worldwide. Seagrasses are protected by no-net-loss provisions in US federal and state regulations, resulting in precautionary management that avoids any direct impacts

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.Seagrass flowering underpins seed‐based restoration and is governed by the interaction of multiple abiotic and biotic drivers operating across a range of temporal and spatial scales. In New Zealand/Aotearoa, flowering was historically considered rare, but emerging evidence indicates it is more widespread than previously recognised, creating new ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.Seagrass meadows play critical roles in coastal ecosystems by stabilising sediments, supporting biodiversity and sequestering carbon, yet monitoring their recovery at scale is often constrained by the lack of scalable and repeatable approaches. This study applies an open‐source remote‐sensing framework to track long‐term changes in Zostera muelleri in ...

Photoacclimatory Responses of Zostera marina in the Intertidal and Subtidal Zones
PLOS ONE, 2016 Photoacclimatory responses of the seagrass Zostera marina in the intertidal and subtidal zones were investigated by measuring chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, photosynthetic pigments, leaf δ13C values, and shoot morphology in two bay systems. Intertidal plants had higher carotenoid concentrations than subtidal plants to avoid photodamage under ...

Restoration of Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Beds by Filling up Borrow Pits with Natural Sediment [PDF]
, 2008 The objective of this study was to evaluate the restoration of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) beds by filling up borrow pits along the coast of Iwakuni, in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. We constructed an eelgrass habitat at the edge of previously constructed

Pre-treatment of zostera marina and ulva armoricana for production of bioethanol and biogas [PDF]
, 2009 The seaweed Zostera marina and the alga Ulva armoricana have been investigated to test the effect of the steam explosion treatment on their conversion in biofuels, namely ethanol and methane. Zostera has been collected on the beach of Arcachon while Ulva

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

Rocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact ...
