Announcing publication of a World Seagrass Association special journal issue: Securing a future for seagrass, edited by Mike van Keulen, Lina Mtwana Nordlund and Leanne C. Cullen-Unsworth in Marine Pollution Bulletin Volume 134, p 1-232 (September 2018).

The 26 papers in this special issue present contemporary research across the spectrum of seagrass research, and cover four major themes that we believe are emerging as key banners for contemporary scientific research on seagrasses:

• Seagrass ecosystem services
• Resilience and a changing environment
• Management and Restoration
• Raising the profile of seagrass meadows

The editorial, Towards recognition of seagrasses, and their sustainable management is freely available from the journal website.

We are currently inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for a Special Issue of Marine and Freshwater Research — inspired by the number of high quality presentations at the recent World Seagrass Conference and ISBW13, that was held in Singapore in June 2018. The theme of the issue follows the conference theme: Translating Seagrass Science into Action—and seek manuscripts that emphasize the applicability of scientific research to advance evidence and science-based solutions, management practices and policies for the conservation of seagrass meadows globally.

After launching the World #Seagrass Day petition this morning we already have more than 20 signatories, before the end of @ISBW2018 and #WSC2018 we should have at least ten times more than that. Please lend your support and reach out to your networks. Learn about the global campaign for World Seagrass Day now.
