TL;DR
In view of the fundamental importance of seagrasses in productivity, a program of investigation has been initiated and includes mapping the horizontal and vertical distribution, using a combination of photographs taken from a helicopter and SCUBA diving, productivity, biomass, biometry and nutrientseagrass interaction.

It is the author's opinion that if the pre-Columbian population of the green turtle could be restored and its fishery properly regulated, the enormous production of the sea grasses in the Caribbean region could be realized more fully for the benefit of man.

It appears that eelgrass can use phosphate from sediments and from water, suggesting that in nature seagrass may act either as a sink or as a source for dissolved phosphorus in estuarine waters.

Of eelgrass populations sampled from southeast Alaska to Bering Strait, those in Kinzarof and Izembek lagoons on the Alaska Peninsula had the highest standing stocks and that in Calder Bay in southeast Alaska had the lowest and the differences appeared to be related to local conditions rather than a large geographical gradient.

In the first detailed ecological description of a fringing reef, two parts of the reefs south of Aqaba (Red Sea) were considered, an eco-functional analysis of the seasonal fluctuations of algal growth, sessile and mobile fauna, and productivity of biocoenoses was extended.
