Full description

A literature synthesis was undertaken between September - December 2025 to create a collection of all studies providing evidence between elasmobranch species and seagrass at a global scale. This dataset contains: - full metadata details of all studies which met criteria of seagrass association (.xlsx) - collection of files used to make global map of study locations relative to global seagrass extent (.zip) - Endnote library containing all included studies (.enlx) - Endnote library containing all studies that were screened but did not meet inclusion criteria (.enlx) - IUCN extraction results from 2 March 2026, as reported in the review (.xlsx)

Created: 29 09 2026

Data time period: Literature included spanned years 1975-2025; IUCN extraction of seagrass-associated species contains updated records up till 2 March 2026.
