Abstract

Many people think of seagrasses as green weeds in coastal waters that foul our favorite swimming areas or wash ashore only to smother beaches with smelly decaying remains. They make up one of Australia's most ecologically productive and economically valuable ecosystems, says researcher Len McKenzie. For example, the carbon stored in Australia's seagrasses has been valued at around $3.5 billion.
