Abstract
Somebody started developing rice-field terraces a long time ago, and rice is now one of the most important cash crops in the world. Who will try the same with seagrasses under seawater irrigation? Seagrasses can provide highly valuable cash products under full strength seawater salinity. This is a highly valuable research prospect for coastal dry land countries that wish to develop food-security without depending on freshwater.
