Deep-water Zostera marina meadows in the Mediterranean
Résumé
Highlights Baseline data on the only known Zostera marina meadows on the Moroccan Mediterranean (Jbel Moussa) is provided. Bioavailable Ni, As, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb and U measured in sediment are mainly accumulated in Z. marina roots. N is high in Z. marina leaves and sediment is more enriched in P. Moroccan Z. marina meadows are overall in good health status and well developed compared to many places worldwide. Implementation of measures against trawling and invasive algae are urgently needed to preserve Z. marina meadows in Morocco.
