AI-based seagrass morphology measurement.

Seagrass meadows are an essential part of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem, providing various benefits such as filtering nutrients and sediment, serving as a nursery for fish and shellfish, and capturing atmospheric carbon as blue carbon. Understanding the phenotypic plasticity of seagrasses and their ability to acclimate their morphology in response to environ-mental stressors is crucial. Investigating these morphological changes can provide valuable insights into ecosystem health and inform conservation strategies aimed at mitigating seagrass decline.
