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.
