Introduction (R.G. Coles, F.T. Short, C.A. Short).
P art I. Status of Seagrass.
1. Global seagrass distri bution (F.T. Short, R.G. Coles, C. Pergent-Martini).
2. Seag rass taxonomy and identification key (J. Kuo, C. den Hartog).
3. Reproduction and phenology in seagrasses (D.I. Walker, B. Olesen, R .C. Phillips).
Part II. Seagrass Research Methods. STRONG>
4. Standards for seagrass collection, identification and sample design (D.M. Burdick, G.A. Kendrick).
5. Methods for mapping seagrass distribution (L.J. McKenzie, M.A. Finkbeiner, H. Ki rkman).
6. Methods for assessing seagrass seed ecology and p opulation genetics (G.J. Inglis, M. Waycott).
7. Methods for the measurement of seagrass abundance and depth distribution (C.M. Duar te, H. Kirkman).
8. Methods for the measurement of seagrass growth and production (F.T. Short, C.M. Duarte).
9. Measurem ents of photosynthetic rates in seagrasses (S. Beer, M. Bjork, R. Gadema nn, P. Ralph).
10. Assessing biomass, assemblage structure a Seagrasses are the basis of an important detrital food chain. The plants filter nutrients and contaminants from the water, stabilise sediments and act as dampeners to wave action. Seagrasses rank with coral reefs and mangroves as some of the world's most productive coastal habitat and strong linkages among these habitats make the loss of seagrasses a contributing factor in the degradation of the world's oceans. Contributors from around the world provide up-to-date methods for comparable collection of ecological information from both temperate and tropical seagrass ecosystems.

Industry Reviews

P.H. Nienhuis ...The book is nevertheless the best we have on seagrass research methods, and therefore indispensable for everyone working with seagrasses. Aquaculture
