Explanation:

The most commonly observed goods and services (direct benefits) that seagrass beds provide include fisheries production, nursery grounds, and marine biodiversity protection. Indirect services include nutrient cycling, coastal protection, water filtration, carbon cycling, and carbon sinks. Over and above this, economic value can also be determined through a consideration of 'replacement costs' for restoring or rehabilitating destroyed resources.
