On the flip side, many juvenile fish species utilize neighboring mangrove and seagrass habitats for refuge and migrate to the reef later on in their life cycles. Other fishes ... -reef and reef locations. For example, the common grunt will migrate to and from neighboring seagrass beds to feed. Thus, their fecal matter and urine greatly enrich reef communities with nitrogen, ...

Oil troubles waters
Mangroves can take several decades to regenerate. Moreover, no way is known of cleaning polluted sediment from the forest floor without destroying the forest itself. Seagrass beds found in shallow water, especially along tropical coastlines, can also suffer, with widespread impacts on both the immediate and surrounding environments. They stabilize the seabed, trap sediments, ...

Despite the obvious value of eelgrass ecosystems, eelgrass beds are threatened by a number of anthropogenic perturbations. Declines in seagrass populations have been linked to physical disturbances (i.e., dredging, construction, shellfishing, propeller damage from boating), turbidity (i.e. topsoil runoff, activities that resuspend sediments), ...
