Michelle Waycott,Carlos M. Duarte,Tim J. B. Carruthers,Robert J. Orth,William C. Dennison,Suzanne V. Olyarnik,Ainsley Calladine,James W. Fourqurean,Kenneth L. Heck,A. Randall Hughes,Gary A. Kendrick,W. Judson Kenworthy,Frederick T. Short,Susan L. Williams +13 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive global assessment of 215 studies found that seagrasses have been disappearing at a rate of 110 km2 yr−1 since 1980 and that 29% of the known areal extent has disappeared since seagRass areas were initially recorded in 1879.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Global Crisis for Seagrass Ecosystems
Robert J. Orth,Tim J. B. Carruthers,William C. Dennison,Carlos M. Duarte,James W. Fourqurean,Kenneth L. Heck,A. Randall Hughes,Gary A. Kendrick,W. Judson Kenworthy,Suzanne V. Olyarnik,Frederick T. Short,Michelle Waycott,Susan L. Williams +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a targeted global conservation effort that includes a reduction of watershed nutrient and sediment inputs to seagrass habitats and a targeted educational program informing regulators and the public of the value of meadows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eutrophication and harmful algal blooms: A scientific consensus

TL;DR: In January 2003, the US Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a "roundtable discussion" to develop a consensus on the relationship between eutrophication and harmful algal blooms, specifically targeting those relationships for which management actions may be appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Water Quality with Submersed Aquatic Vegetation
William C. Dennison,Robert J. Orth,Kenneth A. Moore,J. Court Stevenson,Virginia Carter,Stan Kollar,Peter Bergstrom,Richard A. Batiuk +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used submerged vegetation in Chesapeake Bay to examine the habitat and health of the Bay and provided the first attempt at linking habitat requirements of a living resource to water quality standards in an estuarine system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global seagrass distribution and diversity: A bioregional model
TL;DR: Seagrass bioregions at the scale of ocean basins are identified based on species distributions which are supported by genetic patterns of diversity, and provide a useful framework for interpreting ecological, physiological and genetic results collected in specific locations or from particular species.
