Abstract
THE unprecedented widespread occurrence and devastating nature of the prevalent disease of the eel–grass, Zostera marina, have been viewed with considerable concern by those directly affected by its disappearance. To plant pathologists and marine biologists, the ecological changes following the total disappearance of the plant from our Atlantic coast1 and from the western coast of Europe2 have been a matter of special interest.
