Seagrasses provide multiple ecosystem services including nursery habitat, improved water
quality, coastal protection, and carbon sequestration. However, seagrasses are in crisis as …

Vegetated marine and freshwater habitats are being increasingly lost around the world.
Habitat restoration is a critical step for conserving these valuable habitats, but new …

Restoration is becoming a vital tool to counteract coastal ecosystem degradation. Modifying
transplant designs of habitat-forming organisms from dispersed to clumped can amplify …

Sustainable management of coastal and inland water areas requires knowledge of how
tourism and recreation affects the ecosystems. Here, we present the first systematic review …

The coastal zone is in a critical state worldwide, due to the loss and fragmentation of its
ecosystems. Much of this is caused by long-term anthropic local, regional, or global actions …

To understand the restoration potential of degraded habitats, it is important to know the key
processes and habitat features that allow for recovery after disturbance. As part of the EU …

Seagrasses influence local hydrodynamics by inducing drag on the flow and dampening
near-bed velocities and wave energy. When seagrasses are lost, near-bed currents and …

Seagrass meadows are productive ecosystems that contribute to climate change mitigation
by accumulating 'Blue Carbon'in their plant biomass and sediments. However, there is wide …

Restoration of coastal ecosystem engineers that trap sediment and dampen waves has
proven to be difficult, especially in the wave‐exposed and eroding areas where they are …

Coastal ecosystem engineers often depend on self‐facilitating feedbacks to ameliorate
environmental stress. This makes the restoration of such coastal ecosystem engineers …
