World's Losing Coastal Seagrass at Alarming Rates
- "A recurring case of 'coastal syndrome' is causing the loss of seagrasses worldwide," said Dr. William Dennison of the University of Maryland. "The combination of growing urban centers, artificially hardened shorelines and declining natural resources has pushed coastal ecosystems out of balance. Globally, we lose a seagrass meadow the size of a soccer field every thirty minutes." - quote appeared in this UnderwaterTimes.com article.
