Coastal seagrass disappearing as quickly as coral reefs and rainforests
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison, Tim Carruthers
Findings from the first comprehensive global survey of coastal seagrass ecosystems are nothing to cheer about. Fifty-eight percent of seagrass meadows are declining, according to an international team of scientists who compiled data from 215 studies and 1,800 observations of seagrass habitat beginning in 1879. Since that year, 29 percent of seagrass ecosystems have vanished entirely.

Seagrass Ecosystems in Crisis
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison, Tim Carruthers
WASHINGTON, DC, December 1, 2006 (ENS) - Environmental scientists are calling for a global conservation effort to preserve seagrasses and their ecological services for the world's coastal ecosystems. Their concerns are set forth in an article published in the December issue of "Bioscience," the journal of the American Institute of Biological Sciences.
The article, "A Global Crisis for Seagrass Ecosystems," explains the critical role seagrasses play in coastal systems.
