It’s not clear to me whether this clonal colony is like Pando (shared root system) or is just clones next to each other.

In the latter case I personally wouldn’t call it one organism. Otherwise you clone a sheep and get a “double sheep” when they share a pen?!

Unless they establish that it's a single root system I wouldn't dethrone Pando just yet. From the description it's at least 9 separate seagrass beds, so I doubt it's all one system.

As a side note, I'm going to see Pando this weekend.
