• The only flowering plants that can live underwater • Related to terrestrial lilies and gingers than to true grasses • The main diet of dugongs and green turtles • Provide a habitat for many smaller marine animals • Absorb nutrients from coastal runoff and stabilize sediment • Unique among flowering plants because they can live entirely immersed in seawater.
• To determine the extent of seagrass beds in the four intertidal zones of Sarangani Bay • To describe the spatial variation of seagrass beds in terms of the geological, physical and chemical parameters • To determine the biological characteristics of the seagrasses in terms of density, frequency, abundance, height of the 80% of the leaves and canopy height • To determine the different indicators of environmental stress based on the gross morphology of seagrasses
