The theme for ISBW13 is “Translating Science into Action”. The theme is motivated by the ever-important need for effective communication of seagrass science amongst scientists, managers and practitioners, to better develop and implement science-based seagrass conservation and restoration policies.

It also provides a useful case study of environmental management, and adoption of management practices that aim to balance development and conservation of natural resources.

We hope to use this meeting as a forum to discuss the changing face of seagrass science communication and conservation and how old paradigms can be refreshed to take on the key challenges to seagrass habitats in the future.
