Global distribution of seagrasses and ports showing resilience to dredging. Seagrass density28 is shaded green and ports29 are indicated by blue dots, where larger dots indicate larger harbours (generated using R software30 and maps package). For 28 seagrass sites in the vicinity of ports and dredging, one-dimensional heat maps are shown of average recovery time (RT; top panels) and average relative probability of extinction (RPE; bottom panels). Each heat map has eight vertical bars, corresponding to dredging periods denoted as <dredge duration>−<alternating dredge/rest duration> of 1–0, 2–0, 3–0, 6–0, 6–3, 6–2, 9–0 and 12–0 months. Heat map labels are coloured by genus—pink for colonising Halophila light blue for opportunistic Zostera, and dark blue for persistent Amphibolis
