The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Extinction risk assessment of the world’s seagrass species (2011, background): “That said, detailed knowledge of many seagrass species worldwide is lacking; in some cases even basic distribution information is not complete (Duarte et al. 2008).”
Shift in seagrass food web structure over decades is linked to overfishing (2012, background): “Seagrass habitats alter near-shore hydro - dynamics, prevent coastal erosion and have invaluable connectivity to nearby habitats by providing food, shelter and nursery areas for migratory and stationary invertebrates and fish (reviewed by Orth et al. 2006, Rönnbäck et al. 2007, Duarte et al. 2008).”
Mediterranean warming triggers seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) shoot mortality (2009, background): “Beyond coral reefs however, the literature does not adequately reflect the potential vulnerability of many, if not all, marine habitats to climate change (Duarte et al., 2008a).”
