New type of transplantation technique with the use of mattresses to create a seagrass community has been developed recently in Japan. This technique suits the wide-space transplantation because of its efficiently for the seagrass like Zostera marina that expands by its seeds. The authors developed and reformed this technique to make it applicable for the subtropical seagrass like Halodule uninervis that expands by its rhizomes in Dubai, U. A. E. A field-test was performed to check the applicability of newly developed mattress method for transplantation. The test result revealed that the new mattress method showed high performance in transplantation.
