Seagrass meadows play a crucial role in supporting marine biodiversity, yet they are increasingly at risk due to rising sea temperatures.
In Myuna Bay, located on the western side of Lake Macquarie, the predominant seagrass species, Zostera muelleri, faces threats from these warming conditions.
The findings underscore the urgent need to understand how climate change may influence the survival of these vital underwater habitats.
