This project aims to develop and apply a comprehensive framework for restoration of Australian tropical seagrasses using innovative approaches and partnerships. The project expects to provide coastal managers with tools to mitigate and restore seagrass to minimise effects of climate and development related loss, protecting ecosystem services measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. Expected outcomes include new techniques for tropical seagrass restoration, a blueprint for seagrass friendly marine infrastructure, and restoration decision tools applied at local and regional scales. This will provide significant benefits by protecting seagrass ecosystem services and place Australia at the forefront of global seagrass restoration efforts.

该项目旨在使用创新的方法和合作伙伴关系来开发和应用综合框架，以恢复澳大利亚热带海草。该项目预计将为沿海经理提供减轻和恢复海草的工具，以最大程度地减少与气候和发展相关的损失的影响，从而保护以数亿美元衡量的生态系统服务。预期的结果包括用于热带海草修复的新技术，用于海草友好的海洋海洋基础设施的蓝图以及在当地和地区尺度上应用的恢复决策工具。这将通过保护海草生态系统服务并将澳大利亚置于全球海草恢复工作的最前沿，从而提供巨大的好处。
