Vanishing seagrass (Zostera marina, L.) in Swedish Coastal Waters

Article Abstract:

In 1980s an inventory was made along the Swedish coastal waters, where seagrass (Zostera marine, L.) grew on the shallow soft bottom, which is important for the fish species being either migratory or stationary. In 2000 when the same water was tested it was found that 58% of the marina had decreased in the last 10 to 15 years due to ecological reasons.
