Seagrass Biodiversity Is Both a Goal and A Means For Restoration

Caption

Seagrass beds are important but vulnerable coastal ecosystems in the Coral Triangle.

From left, Jordan Hollarsmith of Hasanuddin University, and Susan Williams and Katie DuBois of UC Davis look at seabed plots in Indonesia.
