Out of the blue the value of seagrasses to the environment and to people

Description:
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants that are found in shallow waters in many parts of the world, from tropics to the Artic circle. Seagrass meadows are of fundamental importance to the world fisheries production, providing valuable nursery habitat to over one fifth of the world's largest 25 fisheries as well as shelter and food for thousands of species, including fish, shellfish and threatened and endangered and charismatic species.
