Seagrass ecosystems play a crucial role in coastal and marine environments, offering essential ecological services such as habitat provision, biodiversity support, and carbon sequestration. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of seagrass research in the Spermonde Archipelago using Scopus-indexed publications. Data were analyzed using R and VOSviewer to identify publication trends, co-authorship networks, keyword occurrences, and citation impacts. Results show an increasing trend in seagrass research, particularly in recent years, with Indonesia as a central hub for scientific collaboration. Major research themes include biodiversity, ecosystem services, blue carbon, and conservation. The findings underscore the importance of international collaborations and the increasing emphasis on seagrass as a crucial component in climate change mitigation and marine sustainability initiatives. This study offers valuable insights into recent research developments and emerging themes, serving as a valuable reference for future studies on seagrass ecosystems in the region.
