Treatment= Reference= Natural seagrass bed at least 100 from any aquaculture lines; Low= low-density aquaculture; high= high-density aquaculture 
Site= Site number
Sample= Sample number
Canopy= (cm) Average higher of the seagrass canopy, measured from the meristem to the tip of the longest leaf. Values shown are the averages of the measurements taken from up to five shoots within each plot.
Width= (mm) Average width of the seagrass blade, measured directly below the first branching point.Values shown are the averages of the measurements taken from up to five shoots within each plot.
Density= (stems per m2) Total number of shoots per 0.25 m2 multiplied by 4
Biomass= (g above-ground biomass per m2) Measured as the total above ground biomass, dried at 60 degrees C to constant weight, per 0.25m2 multiplied by 4
