resilient organisms, it has begun to decline due to coastal development and
global warming.

“If climate change continues, the outlook for this species is very bad,”

“The seagrass in the Mediterranean is already in clear decline due to
shoreline construction and declining water quality and this decline has been
exacerbated by climate change. As the water warms, the organisms move slowly
to higher altitudes. The Mediterranean is locked to the north by the
European continent.

“They cannot move. The outlook is very bad.”
