  abstract = {{N}atural ecological restoration is a cornerstone of modern conservation science and managers need more documented "success stories" to lead the way. {I}n {F}rench mediterranean sea, we monitored {P}osidonia oceanica lower limit using acoustic telemetry and photogrammetry and investigated the descriptors driving its variations, at a national scale and over more than a decade. {W}e showed significant effects of environmental descriptors (region, sea surface temperature and bottom temperature) but also of wastewater treatment plant ({WWTP}) effluents proxies (size of {WWTP}, time since conformity, and distance to the closest effluent) on the meadows lower limit progression. {T}his work indicates a possible positive response of {P}. oceanica meadows to improvements in wastewater treatment and a negative effect of high temperatures. {W}hile more data is needed, the example of {F}rench wastewater policy should inspire stakeholders and coastal managers in their efforts to limit anthropogenic pressures on vulnerable ecosystems.},
