A working group of a dozen scientists from Australia, Europe and the U.S. was established in February 2006 at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barbara, California. Drs. Bill Dennison and Tim Carruthers helped initiate a two-year project in which a global assessment of seagrass gains and losses will be used to develop ecological forecasts. The project, “Global trajectories of seagrasses: Establishing a quantitative basis for seagrass conservation and restoration”, is constructing a global database of seagrass distributional changes, testing the perception that a contemporary crisis in seagrass ecosystems is occurring due to coastal human population pressures.
