Title Inheems zeegras belangrijk in de strijd tegen erosie Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Nature Today Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 18/08/2020 Description In een recente studie werd het vermogen van zeegras om erosie in ondiep water van Lac Bay, Bonaire te minimaliseren onderzocht. Ook werd onderzocht hoe intensieve begrazing het vermogen van zeegras om sediment te stabiliseren kan beïnvloeden. Dit onderzoek benadrukt de voordelen van inheems zeegras t.o.v. invasieve soorten en de noodzaak om zowel zeeschildpadden als zeegrassen te beschermen.

In addition, this study examined how intensive grazing can drastically effect seagrass’ ability to stabilize sediment. This research highlights the benefits of native seagrass over invasive species and the need to match conservation efforts of grazers (i.e. turtles) with the habitats (i.e. seagrass fields) on which they depend.
