Leanne Cullen-Unsworth

She is mainly known for her work on the preservation of seagrass meadows, which are responsible for supporting the food supply of hundreds of millions of people.

[2] She says that she and Richard Unsworth were both doing research in Indonesia focussing on mangroves and corals, when she discovered that seagrasses were very important supporting life that was the main supply of protein for local families.

[3] She argued in 2017 that sea-grasses may be good for supporting sea-horses but the argument was more essential that this "fluffy" approach suggested.

[6] She contributed to research that found that seagrasses are important for a type of gleaning i.e. "fishing with basic gear, including bare hands, in shallow water not deeper than that one can stand".
