The purpose of the World Atlas of Seagrasses is to present a global synthesis of the distribution and status of seagrasses. Such synthesis are available for other coastal ecosystems and have been instrumental in creating awareness, driving clearer conservation and management efforts and focusing priorities at the international level. It is our hope that the World Atlas of Seagrasses will contribute to the more widespread recognition, understanding, and protection of seagrass ecosytems worldwide. |
