Toward a Coordinated Global Observing System for Seagrasses and Marine Macroalgae

Toward a Coordinated Global Observing System for Seagrasses and Marine Macroalgae

In coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food for diverse and abundant biological communities and drive ecosystem processes. Seagrass meadows and macroalgal forests play key rol...
