Welcome

The World Seagrass Association is a global network of scientists and coastal managers committed to research, protection and management of the world’s seagrasses. The idea for the association has its genesis in a keynote address by Professor Ronald Phillips at the Third International Seagrass Biology Workshop in 1998.
