Abstract

The article focuses on the restoration of Australia's seagrass meadows, which have been significantly lost over the years, and highlights the community-led efforts to restore these vital habitats. Topics discussed include the importance of seagrass meadows for fish populations, their role in protecting coastlines and sequestering carbon, and the restoration approach employed by OzFish, which involves collecting and deploying seagrass seeds with the help of volunteers.
