Abstract

Seagrasses have been identified by Wuthathi people as a culturally and environmentally significant value of Wuthathi Karakara (sea country) to be managed and protected. Seagrass meadows play a vital role in supporting coastal marine communities and resources important to Wuthathi. They also provide habitat for endangered species such as dugong and green sea turtles. Of the 15 species of seagrass found in Queensland, an incredible nine occur in Wuthathi Karakara.
