Nature-based solutions using positive species interactions in seagrasses
Project vision
The project’s overarching vision is to understand and leverage the positive associations between seagrasses, invertebrates, and their associated microbial communities as nature-based solutions to address prominent societal and environmental challenges in coastal ecosystems.
It aims to contribute and promote the conservation and restoration of healthy seagrass meadows to mitigate the impacts of global changes and the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Nature-based solutions in seagrass-invertebrate systems, and our overarching working hypothesis. Working with and enhancing nature, by establishing nature based solutions involving positive species interactions rather than a single species, will have far-reaching consequences for responding to societal challenges and for our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change, ultimately safeguarding human well-being.
