The following links and info was previously found under the “More Info” tab at the top.  I didn’t want to totally lose them though, since I’m sure they are/were useful!

Available online

Seagrasses and Nutrients: What are the potential effects of increasing nutrient levels?
Michelle Devlin. 1999. Reef Research. 9(1). w/Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.

Seagrasses in Australia
Yep, a whole book available in pdf format! (Very big file!)

Where I Think The Hobby Should be Going. Steven Pro’s article touching on different ideas and approaches in the reef and marine hobby that deserve more attention in his opinion. Mentions seagrass aquaria.

A Look at the Florida Reef Ecosystem. Jonathan Lowrie’s older article for Reefs.org that is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in Caribbean biotope animals. Definite seagrass mention.

VIMS – Virginia Institute for Marine Sciences with the College of Willliam & May, established this online reference for northern SAV and seagrass existing in the Chesapeake. Certainly of use if you live in the area or are planning a temperate tank.
