Seagrasses
Conservation and restoration of seagrass is the primary focus of
program staff in aquatic vegetation. Seagrass research helps supply
resource managers with the data necessary to make effective
decisions about the preservation, management, and restoration of
these communities.
This section contains articles providing general information about
seagrasses, such as a glossary of terms, additional links, seagrass
biology and ecology, and answers to your most frequently asked
questions.
To successfully protect Florida's seagrasses, FWRI staff members
work on many different types of aquatic vegetation-related
projects. Some of FWRI's current biological research, monitoring,
and mapping projects are described in this section.
This section contains selected seagrass-related documents that are
