  abstract = {{S}eascape ecology, the marine-centric counterpart to landscape ecology, is rapidly emerging as an interdisciplinary and spatially explicit ecological science with relevance to marine management, bio-diversity conservation, and restoration. {W}hile important progress in this field has been made in the past decade, there has been no coherent prioritisation of key research questions to help set the future research agenda for seascape ecology. {W}e used a 2-stage modified {D}elphi method to solicit applied research questions from academic experts in seascape ecology and then asked respondents to identify priority questions across 9 interrelated research themes using 2 rounds of selection. {W}e also invited senior management/conservation practitioners to prioritise the same research questions. {A}nalyses highlighted congruence and discrepancies in perceived priorities for applied research. {T}hemes related to both ecological concepts and management practice, and those identified as priorities include seascape change, seascape connectivity, spatial and temporal scale, ecosystem-based management, and emerging technologies and metrics. {H}ighest-priority questions (upper tercile) received 50% agreement between respondent groups, and lowest priorities (lower tercile) received 58% agreement. {A}cross all 3 priority tiers, 36 of the 55 questions were within a +/- 10% band of agreement. {W}e present the most important applied research questions as determined by the proportion of votes received. {F}or each theme, we provide a synthesis of the research challenges and the potential role of seascape ecology. {T}hese priority questions and themes serve as a roadmap for advancing applied seascape ecology during, and beyond, the {UN} {D}ecade of {O}cean {S}cience for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment (2021-2030).},
