These ecosystems support numerous keystone organisms, including habitat-forming species, like seagrass, that serve as the foundation for community structure and function, while also providing critical ecosystem services to people. Unfortunately, seagrasses are increasingly impacted by human activities and have experienced significant degradation and loss over the last century. Further, changes in habitat suitability is causing seagrass species to shift their geographic distributions, resulting in losses of some spe
