Connect: GRID-Arendal Annual Report 2017

Zostera meadows The coasts of Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea are key distribution areas for Zostera meadows, the most widely distributed seagrass in the Northern hemisphere. This region is estimated to support more than 6000 individual meadows covering at least 1500–2000 km 2 . That’s four times bigger than the combined seagrass area of western Europe.
