This project aims to develop best-practice methods for the biocultural restoration of the endangered seagrass Posidonia australis. This species is highly productive, supports fisheries and biodiversity, and plays a key role in mitigating climate change. This project will generate valuable new genetic information to guide restoration strategies including climate-adjusted genotypes. Working with Indigenous groups, we aim to document and restore cultural values associated with Posidonia. Working with industrial designers, we seek to develop cost-effective techniques to scale-up seagrass restoration. This research should provide significant environmental, economic, social and cultural benefits by improving seagrass restoration.

该项目旨在为濒危海草Posidonia australis的生物栽培恢复制定最佳做法。该物种生产力高，支持渔业和生物多样性，并在减缓气候变化方面发挥关键作用。该项目将产生有价值的新遗传信息，以指导包括气候调整基因型在内的恢复战略。与土著群体合作，我们的目标是记录和恢复与Posidonia相关的文化价值。与工业设计师合作，我们寻求开发具有成本效益的技术，以扩大海草恢复。这项研究应通过改善海草的恢复，提供重大的环境、经济、社会和文化效益。
