AB Seagrass meadows are considered one of the most important and valuableecosystems on the planet, but also one of the most threatened. Missing knowledge abouttheir existence and their subtidal nature are the main reasons for the lack of informationabout seagrass soils, especially in Brazil and other tropical areas. This study discussed theparadoxical lack of information about subaqueous soils, with a view to stimulate researchon soil properties of seagrass meadows. This short communication provides informationabout the ecosystem and first descriptions of seagrass soils along the Brazilian Coast,marked by gleyzation, sulfidization, salinization, paludization, solonization, and classifiedas Gleissolos tiomórficos. Pedological studies on these ecosystems provide useful toolsfor their management, protection, and restoration. Thus, it is fundamental that soilscientists increase their knowledge about subaqueous soils, not only as a contributionto the Brazilian Soil Classification System, but for the conservation of these ecosystems
