This scientific study highlights the importance of restoring seagrass meadows and the potential for restoration efforts to reverse coastal biodiversity loss. The study tested the impact of patch size on faunal colonization in an eelgrass restoration trial in Sweden and found that smaller patches embedded within larger restoration plots can be just as effective for promoting biodiversity as continuous patches, with reduced costs and fewer shoots required. This study sheds light on the dynamic nature of seagrass ecosystems and the importance of a well-planned monitoring scheme to assess the success of restoration efforts accurately. This article is a must-read for anyone interested in seagrass restoration and the importance of maintaining coastal biodiversity
