Threats to Sharks Destabilize Entire Ecosystems 2013-08-06T20:45:00.663Z Two-shelled mollusks called bivalves, bacteria inhabiting the bivalves' gills, and seagrasses themselves all live symbiotically, new research reveals. A Three-Way Partnership at the Bottom of the Sea 2012-06-14T19:15:00Z One reason, he suspects, may be that plastic meadows don't have the same acoustic properties as real seagrass, making them less effective hiding places. Seagrass Meadows Shelter Fish in Silence 2013-01-25T20:25:00Z However, it is a new finding for a seagrass species that is found across much of the world. Fish, Turtle and Duck Excrement Helps Spread Seagrass 2013-01-15T23:45:00.193Z But she warned that past success did not mean that seagrass species were well suited to cope with future changes to the marine environment. Seagrass age surprises scientists 2012-02-02T12:31:11Z This local acidity is too much for most corals; instead, an alternative ecosystem based on seagrasses thrives. Acidic oceans have bad effect on clownfish hearing 2011-05-31T23:47:43Z In dense fields of seagrass that carpet coastal waters around the world, there's a three-way interaction keeping the ecosystem thriving. A Three-Way Partnership at the Bottom of the Sea 2012-06-14T19:15:00Z Unlike fake seagrass, living plants contain bubbles of gas and produce bubbles through photosynthesis that help scatter sound waves. Seagrass Meadows Shelter Fish in Silence 2013-01-25T20:25:00Z Coral gives way to seagrass around the vents - the shape of things to come? Bubbling sea signals coral threat 2011-05-29T17:42:47Z Seagrasses play a key role in marine ecosystems but are declining around the world, say researchers Meadows of seagrass found in the Mediterranean Sea are likely to be thousands of years old, a study shows. Seagrass age surprises scientists 2012-02-02T12:31:11Z For example, seagrasses are gone from the most developed coastlines due to pollution, said Professor Short. Seagrasses face extinction threat 2011-05-23T08:18:47Z "This is a type of interaction that people really hadn't considered before as being critical to seagrasses." A Three-Way Partnership at the Bottom of the Sea 2012-06-14T19:15:00Z In the future, Wilson says, it might be possible to use acoustic sensors to monitor seagrass abundance and health. Seagrass Meadows Shelter Fish in Silence 2013-01-25T20:25:00Z Here, seagrasses dominate the floor - but they lack the hard-shelled snails that normally live on their fronds. Bubbling sea signals coral threat 2011-05-29T17:42:47Z Right: Students collect data on seagrass density using quadrants placed along a 100 meter transect tape at specified intervals. Problems Without Passports: Scientific Research Diving at USC Dornsife--Catalina Island 2011-05-22T21:15:00.760Z So he and an international team of experts convened three workshops to gather all the knowledge about individual seagrasses, and used it to evaluate how at risk each species is. Seagrasses face extinction threat 2011-05-23T08:18:47Z In addition, they discovered that the bivalves were healthier and heartier when they lived in close proximity to seagrasses, the team reports online today in Science. A Three-Way Partnership at the Bottom of the Sea 2012-06-14T19:15:00Z Madsen concedes that the idea that seagrass provides acoustic refuge for fish makes sense. Seagrass Meadows Shelter Fish in Silence 2013-01-25T20:25:00Z In Brazil, as in other countries, we need to stop the destruction of existing mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses. Add coastal vegetation to the climate critical list 2011-05-18T17:20:06.780Z "The Gulf of Mannar is a unique reserve with ecosystems like coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass," Mr Samuel said. Mining 'causes islands to sink' 2011-05-13T17:01:56Z The reasons are many, seagrass expert Frederick Short told the BBC. Seagrasses face extinction threat 2011-05-23T08:18:47Z In the Gulf lies one of the largest seagrass beds in the world, he points out, as well as spawning grounds for smalltooth sawfish. New 'Walking' Fishes Discovered in Gulf Oil-Spill Zone 2010-07-15T14:55:00Z In Cambodia, the marine life is particularly rich; the seagrass beds of Kampot are the largest in the region and shelters endangered dugongs and dolphins. Is Cambodia Dredging its Rivers to Death? 2010-05-15T04:50:00Z If the oil flows east, it will encounter the seagrass beds that form a key habitat for manatees, among other species. Deepwater Horizon: Conservationists warn of 'true catastrophe' for wildlife 2010-04-30T16:21:00Z "From the egg-laying behaviour, it is almost certain the cuttlefish put the eggs on when the seahorse was sitting in the seagrass." Confused cuttlefish spotted laying eggs on seahorse 2010-03-26T11:23:00Z More common species are also in decline, meaning both seagrass habitat and diversity is being lost. Seagrasses face extinction threat 2011-05-23T08:18:47Z New research does point to one promising new avenue of natural carbon sequestration: coastal salt marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows. 2009-12-03T05:00:00Z Toward evening the sailor got up, lit a large illumination lamp, and was about to do more, but he was overcome by intoxication again and fell asleep upon his thin mattress of straw and seagrass. The Crushed Flower and Other Stories Professor Short, of the University of Hampshire in Durham, US is the director of SeagrassNet, an international seagrass monitoring program with 114 sites around the world. Seagrasses face extinction threat 2011-05-23T08:18:47Z "I was surprised by the level of threat to many species of seagrass and to discover that seagrass biodiversity is under greater threat than I believed," he said.
