I spent this past summer at the MBL Microbial Diversity summer course and I’ve written a post about it which can be found here: http://microbe.net/2015/09/28/mbl-microbial-diversity-summer-course/

While at the course, I also cultured a handful of microbes from seagrass leafs/roots and several different amoeba from seagrass bed sediments including one really cool “follow the leader” snail slime like amoeba (slime mold?).
