""The World Atlas of Seagrasses will be an invaluable reference: for the novice it will provide a broad background in seagrasses and for the specialist it will give insight into how local problems of seagrass distribution can be explained on a large scale. "--Stephen Bortone, Director, Marine Laboratory, Sanibel-Captive Conservation Foundation
Kurzbeschreibung
Seagrasses, a group of about sixty species of underwater marine flowering plants, grow in the shallow marine and estuary environments of all the world's continents except Antarctica. The primary food of animals such as manatees, dugongs, green sea turtles, and critical habitat for thousands of other animal and plant species, seagrasses are also considered one of the most important shallow-marine ecosystems for humans since they play an important role in fishery production. Though they are highly valuable ecologically and economically, many seagrass habitats around the world have been completely destroyed or are now in rapid decline. "The World Atlas of Seagrasses "is the first authoritative and comprehensive global synthesis of the distribution and status of this critical marine habitat--which, along with mangroves and coral reefs, has been singled out for particular attention by the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity.
Illustrated throughout with color maps, photographs, tables, and more, and written by a large team of international collaborators, this unique volume covers seagrass ecology, scientific studies to date, current status, changing distributions, threatened areas, and conservation and management efforts for twenty-four regions of the world. As human populations expand and continue to live disproportionately in coastal areas, bringing new threats to seagrass habitat, a comprehensive overview of coastal resources and critical habitats is more important than ever. "The World Atlas of Seagrasses "will stimulate new research, conservation, and management efforts, and will help better focus priorities at the international level for these vitally important coastal ecosystems.

Useful reference tool
10. August 2007
I bought this for the maps. I originally borrowed it from the library to aid me with my research...recent and comprehensive world maps of seagrass distribution are not that easy to come by and this book includes one for every imaginable species. It was so useful that I decided I wanted to always have it on hand. In the text it gives nice descriptions of seagrass composition for different areas of the world and in the back has drawings, distribution maps, and estimated coverage of each species. The only thing I wished it included is standard characteristics of each species in the back. This book pulls together information from a remarkable number of sources into one place and ended up saving me a lot of time and headaches.
