Threats to Seagrasses: 1  Natural threats to seagrasses include storms, climate changes such as floods and droughts affecting water salinity, disruption of seagrasses by small predators as they search for food, and grazing by animals such as sea turtles and manatees.eagrasses may be confused with seaweeds (marine algae), but they are not. Seagrasses are vascular plants and reproduce by flowering and producing seeds. Marine algae are classified as protists (which also includes protozoans, prokaryotes, fungi and sponges), are relatively simple and reproduce using spores.
Seagrasses perform a variety of functions within ecosystems, and have both economic and ecological value. The high level of productivity, structural complexity, and biodiversity in seagrass beds has led some researchers to describe seagrass communities as the marine equivalent of tropical rainforests.here are also a number of natural factors that damage or threaten seagrasses. A wasting disease, thought to be caused by a marine slime mold, caused extensive damage to eelgrass beds (Zostera spp.) in temperate coastal areas during the 1930s, diminishing seagrass coverage by over 90%.
