#Webinar - Seagrass Loss and Restoration: Case Studies from the Indo-Pacific ๏ธ By: Rohani Ambo Rappe of Hasanuddin University and Jennifer Verduin of Murdoch University / OCTO When: September 30 2026 Discover more ๐Ÿ‘‡ champ.ly/fzArioar

us02web.zoom.usWelcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Seagrass Loss and Restoration: Case Studies from the Indo-Pacific. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.Presented by: Rohani Ambo Rappe of Hasanuddin University and Jennifer Verduin of Murdoch University Description: Seagrass meadows are vital to food security, livelihoods, and coastal resilience across the Indo-Pacific. They provide gleaning and small-scale fishing opportunities for the region's most food-insecure households, as well as essential habitat for commercial fisheries. They also protect coastal communities by reducing wave energy and erosion, buffering storm surges, stabilizing sediments, and filtering pollutants, pathogens, and excess nutrients to improve water quality. Greater Southeast Asian has the largest global extent of tropical seagrass, but over half is degraded. Restoration projects are underway across the region, with varying degrees of success. A recent synthesis of this work identified several factorsโ€”including species, restoration methods, light levels, wave energy, and water depthโ€”that are associated with greater survival and establishment of restored seagrass. In this webinar seagrass restoration experts Dr. Rohani Ambo-Rappe and Dr. Jennifer Verduin will share lessons from two of the most extensive and well-studied seagrass restoration programs in the region, including: โ€ข The use of simple, low-cost restoration methods in the Spermonde Archipelago, South Sulawesi, Indonesia โ€ข Work to replant foundational seagrass species in partnership with Indigenous traditional owners in Shark Bay, Western Australia. The presenters will discuss why seagrass loss occurred, describe the restoration approaches used and their successes and challenges, and share lessons learned about what works, what doesnโ€™t, and why. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A, providing attendees an opportunity to ask the presenters questions. Subtitles will be available in over 30 languages. Hosted by: OCTO with support from the NOAA National MPA Center
