At selected stations, the upper and lower depth limits of seagrass beds were determined; habitat types were recorded based on coordinates and depths in the surveyed areas, and classifications were made from the collected high-resolution images and videos. Visual data obtained through ROV operations provided detailed insights into both the distribution of seagrass beds and the characteristics of their habitats. In addition, underwater marine litter observed during these surveys was systematically documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These initial activities represent the first steps in applying the data collection methodologies developed for seagrass research within the framework of the EfxINNOs Project, and they lay the foundation for more comprehensive studies to be conducted in the coming period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"EfxINNOs project: Seagrass meadows, the hidden lifeline at risk.
