| Review | "Seagrasses occur widely in coastal zones throughout the world. This book provides an entry point for those wishing to learn about the ecology of this group of plants, and gives a broad overview of the present state of knowledge, including recent progress in research and current research foci, complemented by extensive literature references to guide the reader to more detailed studies. As such it will be valuable to students of marine biology wishing to specialize in this area and also to established researchers wanting to enter the field. In addition, it will provide an excellent source of information for those involved in the management and conservation of coastal areas that harbour seagrasses."--Jacket. |
