Securing a future for seagrass

27 September, 2018 by Ainsley

Announcing publication of a World Seagrass Association special journal issue: Securing a future for seagrass, edited by Mike van Keulen, Lina Mtwana Nordlund and Leanne C. Cullen-Unsworth in Marine Pollution Bulletin Volume 134, p 1-232 (September 2018).

The 26 papers in this special issue present contemporary research across the spectrum of seagrass research, and cover four major themes that we believe are emerging as key banners for contemporary scientific research on seagrasses:

  • Seagrass ecosystem services
  • Resilience and a changing environment
  • Management and Restoration
  • Raising the profile of seagrass meadows

The editorial, Towards recognition of seagrasses, and their sustainable management is freely available from the journal website.

Here are all the citations if you want to import them into your reference manager:

The full table of contents and papers are available on the journal’s website and here are the titles to whet your appetite:
