This project aims to develop best-practice methods for the biocultural restoration of the endangered seagrass Posidonia australis. This species is highly productive, supports fisheries and biodiversity, and plays a key role in mitigating climate change. This project will generate valuable new genetic information to guide restoration strategies including climate-adjusted genotypes. Working with Indigenous groups, we aim to document and restore cultural values associated with Posidonia. Working with industrial designers, we seek to develop cost-effective techniques to scale-up seagrass restoration. This research should provide significant environmental, economic, social and cultural benefits by improving seagrass restoration.

该项目旨在开发最佳实践方法，以恢复濒临灭绝的海草posidonia australis。该物种的生产力很高，支持渔业和生物多样性，并且在缓解气候变化方面起着关键作用。该项目将产生宝贵的新遗传信息，以指导包括气候调整的基因型在内的恢复策略。我们与土著群体合作，旨在记录和恢复与波西多尼亚相关的文化价值。我们与工业设计师合作，试图开发具有成本效益的技术来扩展海草修复。这项研究应通过改善海草恢复来提供大量的环境，经济，社会和文化利益。
