Light availability is critically important for primary productivity in coastal systems, yet current
research approaches may not be adequate in shallow coastal lagoons. Light attenuation in …

In the past three decades seagrass research has adopted several disciplines and matured

This book and this synthesis address the pressing need for better management of coastal
wetlands worldwide because these wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate; in some …

Extensive data sets on water quality and seagrass distributions in Florida Bay have been
assembled under complementary, but independent, monitoring programs. This paper …

Submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) is an important component of shallow water estuarine
systems that has declined drastically in recent decades. SAV has particularly high light …
