Seagrass Reinvention Shows Evolutionary Repeatability

The article describes how seagrasses represent one of the most dramatic cases of terrestrial plants re‑adapting to marine life, suggesting that complex shifts (morphology, physiology, life history) can happen multiple times along similar lines. That repeatability reframes seagrasses not as one odd lineage but as evidence that evolution can produce the same ecological solution more than once. — If evolutionary solutions to coastal life are repeatable, conservation and restoration strategies can be informed by predictable trait sets and targeted genetic or functional criteria, affecting blue‑carbon policy and coastal management.
