Fig. S1. Map of study area in the Gulf of Aqaba (GoA), Red Sea, Israel, with the two transects (T-1, T-2) extending ~ 25 m from shallow (6 and 9 m) to intermediate (15 m) and deep areas (21 m). Blue cross represents the position (29.493 N, 34.909 E) of environmental data collection in adjacent waters.
Fig. S2. Water temperature and irradiance (PAR) changes across a depth gradient (0 – 50 m) of July 2016 in adjacent waters (29.493 N, 34.909 E) from Israel’s National Monitoring of the Gulf of Eilat modified from Winters (2016).
Table S1. Data for fatty acid composition compiled from the literature and unpublished data (Beca et al., unpubl) used to assess similarities between seagrass populations worldwide.
