Labrador (11 Jan 2013)
Pei Yan and I are back on Labrador to check up on the seagrasses here.
Some parts of this beleaguered shore still has good growths of seagrasses and they were blooming!

Animals help pollinate and disperse seagrasses
Two recent studies reveal the role of marine creatures in pollinating seagrass flowers and dispersing their seeds!
Tiny worms and crustacea visit the flowers of Thalassia testudinum while fish, terrapins, and birds may help disperse seeds of Zostera marina. Does the same kind of thing happen on our seagrass meadows? So much more to learn and discover!

Cyrene Reef (15 Dec 2012)
A small team monitored the seagrass meadows on Cyrene during a brief break in the wet weather, just before sunset.
We quickly set up for the monitoring after a safe arrival. How are the seagrasses doing on Cyrene?

My first time seeing the fruits of Spoon seagrass (Halophila ovalis)!

Pulau Semakau (13 Nov 2012)
The Tape seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) are blooming today! With sprinkles of tiny male flowers floating on the water, often mistaken for styrofoam bits.
A small team had a great cool day monitoring the seagrass meadows of Pulau Semakau!
