“…Several restoration methods of seagrass are being followed in different parts of the world such as the hand broad-cast method (Phillips, 1974), the Staple method (Paling et al, 2000;Liu et al, 2015), the Framework (TERFS) method (Short et al, 2002). Balaji et al (2020) compared the establishment of Cymodocea serrulata sprigs in three types of rafts made of PVC pipes, bamboo frames and coconut fibre ropes as well as its cost benefits in the Palk Bay region. An extensive review on seagrass restoration has been attempted by Tan et al (2020) taking lessons from Australia and New Zealand.…”
