This article presents a study on the genetic diversity and structure of three transplanted eelgrass beds in southern California. Findings indicated a reduced genetic diversity as compared to data from natural beds; therefore, several hypotheses for these differences are also discussed.sea grassestuarieswetlandsrestorationArticle
