Nearshore‐structured habitats—including underwater grasses, mangroves, coral, and other
biogenic reefs, marshes, and complex abiotic substrates—have long been postulated to …

As human impacts increase in coastal regions, there is concern that critical habitats that
provide the foundation of entire ecosystems are in decline. Seagrass meadows face growing …

The significant role seagrass meadows play in supporting fisheries productivity and food
security across the globe is not adequately reflected in the decisions made by authorities …

Field‐based cultivation of Kappaphycus and Eucheuma seaweeds is widespread across the
tropics and is largely done to extract the polysaccharide carrageenan, which is used in …

Impacts of global climate change on coral reefs are being amplified by pulse heat stress
events, including El Niño, the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …

Diverse habitats composing coastal seascapes occur in close proximity, connected by the
flux of materials and fauna across habitat boundaries. Understanding how seascape …

Estuarine seascapes are a mosaic of habitat types that are connected, to varying degrees,
by the movement of organisms. In these seascapes, the attributes of the habitats themselves …

Anthropogenic activities have led to the biotic homogenization of many ecological
communities, yet in coastal systems this phenomenon remains understudied. In particular …

Interfacing with land and sea, estuaries support a mosaic of habitats that underpin the
production of many coastal fisheries. These ecosystems are threatened by multiple …

Body size is considered an important structuring mechanism of food webs because
