REVIEWERS COMMENTS:

“Scientists, conservationists, resource managers, and increasingly policy makers are coming to believe that seagrass communities are vitally important ecosystems. This book will make clear the extent of seagrass assemblages, the magnitude of their degradation, and the many adverse consequences of failure to conserve and manage them effectively.”
DONALD POTTS
Professor of Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz

“The World Atlas of Seagrasses will be an invaluable reference: for the novice it will provide a broad background in seagrasses and for the specialist it will give insight into how local problems of seagrass distribution can be explained on a large scale.”
