As we usher in 2026, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers who generously dedicated their time to assist with data collection (monitoring and mapping) of seagrass as part of the Global Seagrass Observing Network in 2025.
We also want to thank GBRF, SPREP, GIZ, and others for their invaluable support in delivering Seagrass-Watch training to communities both in Australia and internationally.
The Global Seagrass Observing Network has successfully established new sites in Mozambique, Fiji, and Australia. Our monitoring and mapping efforts have continued, made possible by the dedication of volunteers and participants across the globe.
We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you for your steadfast commitment to monitoring, conserving, and raising awareness about seagrass. Thank you!
We couldn’t fit it all into one video, but here are some of the highlights.

Seagrass at the Pioneer Bay long-term monitoring site 1 (PI1) is dominated by Zostera muelleri and was in a GOOD state, with numerous dugong grazing trails, during the team’s recent visit in October 2025. The intertidal seagrass meadows at Pioneer Bay (Cannonvale) cover approximately 60ha and are favoured dugong and turtle feeding grounds. The multispecies meadows are comprised of varying proportions of Halodule uninervis, Halophila ovalis and Zostera muelleri.
