A Guide to Southern Temperate Seagrasses describes the exceptionally diverse seagrasses in the temperate parts of the southern hemisphere. This book introduces readers to the evolution, biology and ecology of the southern temperate seagrasses and presents a visual key to allow species identification using easily recognisable features. Detailed information is presented summarising the distinctive features of each species or 'complex', with brief notes about their taxonomy, reproduction and ecology.

With information provided in a highly concise format, this book allows readers to rapidly identify a particular seagrass, as well as other species that it may easily be confused with, confirm that the species occurs in a certain area, and access general information on the biology and ecology of the species. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, environmental consultants and both government and non-government agencies.

Reviews for A Guide to Southern Temperate Seagrasses

""Beautiful, simple, practical. this book is an essential addition to anyone working on anything to do with temperate seagrasses, and will be a welcome addition to the eld kits of students studying aquatic biology. This is one of the best identification books for any set of species I've seen and it's a credit to the authors."" Dr Jacqui Pocklington, Australian Marine Sciences Association, pp.37-38 ""This guide will be an excellent companion to everybody exploring the shores of the temperate Southern Hemisphere and in addition will be very valuable to all persons with interest in marine plants."" Jorg Ott, Marine Ecology, 2014 ""For all species groups, excellent illustrations demonstrate the diversity of plant forms. Even the least studied and less ornate groups are captured in glorious underwater imagery."" Margot Hessing-Lewis, Marine Biology Research, 2014
