Seagrass-Watch News Mar 08

Seagrass-Watch News Mar 08 (Issue 32 2008) has lots of fascinating articles!

There's good news! "While recent publications from around the world are reporting significant human impacts on marine ecosystems, the seagrasses of northern Australia, in particular northern Queensland, appear to contradict the global trend".

and in the Philippines...seagrass monitoring makes a difference in the setting up of protected areas!
"Four years after the baseline survey for seagrass in Roxas, Palawan was conducted, two marine protected areas with core seagrass areas in Caramay and Johnson Island have been established."

Closer to home...seagrass monitoring is a critical part of efforts to conserve Sungei Pulau Wetland.
And at home...our work is also featured in the Newsletter!

"Once Upon a Tree" episode about seagrasses tonight!

From the arts central website, here's the write up on episode .

Lost Connections

The Following is a Note from the Editor: I never knew Singapore waters to be so picturesque! It is as if someone polishes the surface of our waters everyday! You must see it to believe it. Of course I wanted to use every shot, but when you've made a career out of editing, as I have, you know that is not possible. Eventually, I pieced together the Battle of Labrador, something on Sea Grasses, Calendars, and Sports, based upon the theme Lost Connections. Cohost? Suelyn? Yummy. Definitely.

A little (water) bird said that this episode will be on seagrasses! And that must surely mean that our very own Siti will be featured!

And probably also something about the team as well?! So do watch the show, and share your comments and thoughts about it.
