Threats
Major Threats
This species is affected by localized threats including coastal industrial development, eutrophication and sedimentation.
In the tropical parts of its range it will be increasingly susceptible to increasing temperatures, as it is less tolerant than tropical species. Climate change may be a threat, but the effects are unknown.
Zostera muelleri was affected by a wasting disease in New Zealand in the 1960s.
