  abstract = {{S}eagrass beds are increasingly impacted by human activities in coastal areas, particularly in tropical regions. {T}he objective of this research program was to study seagrass beds characteristics under various environmental conditions in the {F}rench {A}ntilles ({FA}, {C}aribbean {S}ea). {A} total of 61 parameters, from plant physiology to seagrass ecosystem, were tested along a gradient of anthropogenic conditions, distributed across 11 sites and 3 islands of the {FA}. {A} selection of 7 parameters was identified as relevant for the monitoring of seagrass meadows in the framework of public policies. {T}hey combined "early warning indicators" (e.g. nutrients and some trace metals) and long-term responding parameters (e.g. shoot density) adapted to management time scales. {T}he ecological status of seagrass meadows was evaluated using a {PCA}. {T}his work is a first step towards monitoring and management of seagrass meadows in the {FA}.},
