Abstract
Three case studies involving two temperate Australian seagrass species – Pondweed ( Ruppia tuberosa ) and Ribbon Weed ( Posidonia australis ) – highlight different approaches to their restoration. Seeds and rhizomes were used in three collaborative programmes to promote new approaches to scale up restoration outcomes.
