Abstract
The idea of producing a new book of seagrass methods arose from a series of meetings of the International Seagrass Biology Workshop (ISBW). The need for updated methods first emerged at ISBW-2 in Australia, 1996; Professor C. Peter McRoy expressed the need to update our knowledge of research methods through a revision of “Seagrass Research Methods” (Phillips and McRoy 1990). The concept of developing a publication of methods more broadly applicable to seagrass research in a global context was raised at ISBW-3 in the Philippines, 1998. That workshop recognised the need for an updated set of methodologies suitable for a range of environments, from tropical to temperate and from estuarine to deep water. By the time of ISBW-4, in France, 2000, the global methods book was under way and draft chapters were discussed at the meeting.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
