Description Seagrass meadows also known as marine prairies have attained tremendous significance and their services as ecosystem are greatly
valued for food, feed, shelter, refuge marine biodiversity hotspots and nursery grounds to many marine vertebrates and
invertebrates of commercial and ecological importance, besides their highest primary production and their role in checking ocean
acidification and global warming impacts through their excellent carbon sequestration potential. Ecosystem services of certain
seagrass meadows available in Indian coasts within the four categories such as cultural, provisioning, regulating and supporting are
discussed in this communication. While exploiting the services offered by the seagrass meadows, their conservation should assign
top priority
