A guide to tropical seagrasses of the Indo-West Pacific

Abstract

The need for a new seagrass field guide in the Indo-West Pacific region has been generated by increased interest by the community at large in these plants. The impetus of community based monitoring has lead to many questions about seagrass identification and their basic biology. This guide tries to answer the many questions and issues raised by community volunteers, biologists and managers. We hope that it is useful to you all!
