• Seaweeds have long been recognized as “ecosystem engineers” and carbon sinks in coastal marine ecosystems. However, recent ocean warming has had drastic eco-physiological impacts on seaweed assemblages and hence coastal community structure (Wernberg et al., 2011, 2013). Seaweeds, particularly species that prefer lower water temperatures, are facing imminent threat and will experience strong population-size reductions at low-latitude range limits (Wernberg et al., 2011, 2013).
