“…Marine organisms, including seagrasses, are valuable sources of biologically active compounds for the treatment of human diseases. Seagrasses are one of the true marine flowering plants that belong to the group of angiosperms, which have 72 species worldwide, divided into four families (Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Posidoniaceae, and Cymodoceaceae) [ 4 , 5 ]. Seagrasses are eukaryotic organisms found in shallow water areas of temperate, subtropical, and tropical seas, except in polar regions [ 6 ].…”

“…Seagrasses, a convention of marine blossoming plants, possess the flowing and sub-flowing regions of shallow and protected areas of oceans, inlets, bayous, backwaters, tidal ponds, and estuaries around on mild and tropical shorelines of the world (Meena et al, 2022). Globally, 72 species under 4 families (Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Posidoniaceae and Cymodoceae) of Seagrasses has been found of which the seagrasses is one of its true marine flowering plants (Short et al, 2016 andJeyapragash et al, 2021). Seagrasses are eukaryotic organisms that can be found, with the exception of the Polar Regions, in shallow water sections of moderate, subtropical, and tropical oceans (Mehari Ghebretinsae et al, 2019).…”

“…Seagrass grows on soft sediments and is widely distributed in subtropical, temperate and even arctic waters. Seagrass meadows are the largest submerged aquatic vegetation ecosystem protected in Europe providing essential ecosystems for marine life as feeding ground, shelter, nursery and habitat (Short et al, 2016). They protect the coast by attenuating wave energy and trapping sediments (Orth et al, 2006); combined with nutrient uptake and pathogen reduction, they therefore improve near-shore water quality (Lamb et al, 2017;Short et al, 2007).…”
