Seagrass meadows constitute coastal communities that have experienced great losses worldwide. The dominant seagrass in the meadows of the Pacific coast of North America is <i>Zostera marina</i>. There is evidence that <i>Z. marina</i> has been replaced in some places by the opportunistic seagrass <i>Ruppia maritima</i> with important implications for the trophic connections of local ecosystems. In México, there are few reports on the distribution and loss of seagrass meadows. Here, we report on the importance that <i>R. maritima</i> has gained in three wetlands of northwest México, replacing <i>Z. marina</i> and modifying local trophic networks. We made extensive samplings on <i>Z. marina</i> and <i>R. maritima</i> meadows, recording shoot density and marking their spatial distribution with GPS. We included information on the presence of <i>R. maritima</i> at other wetlands of northwest México from historical reviews and current sampling. <i>R. maritima</i> was recorded in 29 localities, 3 of which are new records. Their shoot density and spatial coverage were highest in late fall and decreased in late spring, while <i>Z. marina</i> meadows increased after the reduction of <i>R. maritima</i> meadows. <i>R. maritima</i> now constitutes a primary food source for green turtles in the sampled wetlands, something unprecedented a few years ago. Improvement of wetland management plans is needed to stop environmental degradation, <i>R. maritima</i> invasion, and the loss of ecosystem functions.
