Tools and techniques for restoring Zostera muelleri in temperate Australia

This study used field- and mesocosm-based trials to investigate the tools and techniques to restore the seagrass, Zostera muelleri, to Western Port, Victoria; and the factors affecting its growth and survival. The findings highlight the viability of seed-based approaches compared to more labour-intensive shoot-based ones, and the need to further understand the seagrass-microbiome relationship, especially in relation to restoration.
