This project aims to develop and apply a comprehensive framework for restoration of Australian tropical seagrasses using innovative approaches and partnerships. The project expects to provide coastal managers with tools to mitigate and restore seagrass to minimise effects of climate and development related loss, protecting ecosystem services measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. Expected outcomes include new techniques for tropical seagrass restoration, a blueprint for seagrass friendly marine infrastructure, and restoration decision tools applied at local and regional scales. This will provide significant benefits by protecting seagrass ecosystem services and place Australia at the forefront of global seagrass restoration efforts.

该项目旨在利用创新办法和伙伴关系制定和应用澳大利亚热带海草恢复的综合框架。该项目预计将为沿海管理者提供减轻和恢复海草的工具，以最大限度地减少与气候和发展相关的损失的影响，保护以数亿美元衡量的生态系统服务。预期成果包括热带海草恢复的新技术、海草友好型海洋基础设施蓝图以及在地方和区域范围内应用的恢复决策工具。这将通过保护海草生态系统服务提供显著的好处，并使澳大利亚处于全球海草恢复努力的前沿。
