Coastal areas occupied by seagrass habitat face myriad threats
(Short and Wyllie-Echeverria, 1996; Lotze et al., 2006). The coastal
ocean is under pressure from human development and manipulation
and seagrass loss occurs as a result of pollution and habitat
destruction (Fig. 2c), although seagrasses as a group have a lower
proportion of threatened or Near Threatened species (21%)
compared to other marine habitat species such as the reef-building
corals (48% in threatened or Near Threatened categories; Carpenter
et al., 2008), or mangroves (26% in threatened or Near Threatened
categories; Polidoro et al., 2010).
