How Do You Restore Seagrass Meadows? : A Guide to Seagrass Restoration Other events...
A public lecture by John Statton and Gary Kendrick, UWA Oceans Institute.

At The University of Western Australia's Oceans Institute, and in collaboration with industry partners and international experts, we are developing large scale restoration techniques that can be used to both restore seagrasses and to enhance existing seagrass meadows for sustainability. To achieve large-scale restoration of degraded seagrass meadows, we take a lessons learnt approach from terrestrial restoration practices and apply this within a marine setting. Our research focuses on four key areas; seed harvesting and seed sowing, seed dormancy and germination, seedling growth and survival, and genetics to assess adaptability to environmental change.

In this lecture we will present our gardening secrets for growing seagrasses for restoration.

This lecture is presented by the Institute of Advanced Studies and the UWA Oceans Institute.
