Set of 10 panels
42 cm x 29.7 cm per panel

This set of 10 watercolours is one of only 500 limited edition fine art reproductions commissioned by the Marine Plant Ecology Group and signed by the artist Ruth Berry. No additional copies in this form will be printed and signed.

The paintings include the complete set of Queensland seagrass species - 16 species in 8 genera. The paintings are as near as possible scientifically accurate and include different forms and leaf tips to aid field identification. Included is also an overall habitat painting which emphasises the value of seagrasses and the complexity of the food webs that are integral to the productivity of the oceans.

Through these illustrations, you will be able to appreciate the wonder and delicate beauty of seagrasses and understand their irreplaceable role in the marine ecosystem. From the tiny, delicate Halophila species to the robust Enhalus acoroides, each plant holds a totally different character.

The Artist - Ruth Berry is a natural history illustrator and documentary filmmaker. She has worked on many publications including The Slater Guide to Australian Birds and a Concise Australian Flora by Leonard Cronin. Ruth worked closely with scientists from DPI&F and JCU, accompanying them on collection expeditions. All reference material for the paintings has been available as live or herbarium specimens.

It has been 20 years since a guide to tropical Australian seagrasses has been written. This guide, written for a general audience up to undergraduate level, has background material on the distribution, habitats, ecology and evolution of this group of marine plants.

It is extensively illustrated with photographs, drawings, diagrams and excellent reproductions of Cairns artist Ruth Berry's acclaimed series of seagrass watercolours, that were commissioned by DPI&F for Seagrass-Watch and community education.

There is also a key for the identification of the Indo-West Pacific seagrasses with additional information on each seagrass family and the species within that family

This 72-page full colour guide has been published by James Cook University with primary funding support from CRC Torres Strait and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.

Launched on 15 October 2003, for the first time the World Atlas of Seagrasses summarizes the opinion and science of the world's leading seagrass experts on the global status of the ecosystem.

Fully illustrated, the Atlas contains the first global and regional maps of seagrass distribution and a wealth of information on key issues concerning this 'forgotten. ecosystem. The Atlas is a collaboration of more than 50 authors from 25 nations.

This is the first book of its kind and has been produced for use by marine scientists and the international conservation community as well as world governments, intergovernmental organizations and policy makers.

Seagrasses of Australia (GIVEAWAY)
Australia: State of the Environment Technical Paper Series (Estuaries and the Sea), Series 1
H Kirkham
CSIRO Division of Marine Research
Department of the Environment, 1997
ISBN 0 642 25275 0

Seagrass-Watch HQ has several copies of "Seagrasses of Australia Australia: State of the Environment Technical Paper Series (Estuaries and the Sea), Series 1" by Dr Hugh Kirkman to give away. Donated by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Library in Hobart , this paper describes the nature of seagrasses and explains their importance in the marine environment and their relationships with other marine habitats. The body of the paper is split into three parts: the state of seagrasses in Australia; the pressures that are put on to seagrass habitats by people and nature; and the response that people can make to preserve and restore seagrass meadows. The extent, diversity and abundance of seagrasses are described for separate regions in Australia. There are about 51 000 sq km of seagrass meadow in Australia.

Although written in 1997, it is apparent throughout this paper that more research needs to be carried out. Mapping, inventories of diversity and abundance and background data on seagrasses need to be collected. Further research on ameliorating damage to seagrass meadows and accelerating the restoration processes needs to be properly funded and carried out. The legislation drawn up to protect seagrass habitats, relevant to each State, is listed. Finally, some recommendations as to further research and ways that seagrass meadows can be preserved are presented.
