I have only found one site that sells seagrass.. ReefCleaners.org - Home
Does anyone know of other sites that sell seagrasses and mangroves?

No!!!! Highly illegal to disturb seagrass beds!
I'm off to dig up some sources for you, there are several places that culture several species of seagrass. Any particular species you are looking for?
I'm not sure bout the mangrove shoots. I don't know much about mangroves, except there are some issues with salinity. Something I never bothered keeping or researching, ever...

There's a company in Tampa that sells Mangroves on Ebay. I haven't purchased them yet, but I did buy their HOB refugium and I must say that it's top notch. Received it in one day (a Saturday no less!!) and it was packaged extremely well. They took great care of the macro algae - each in its own sealed bag, lil hand warmer heaters, etc. It's been setup for a few weeks and macro algae and pods are doing great. Since it's a HOB, I may just try 1 Mangrove shoot just for kicks - don't have a ton of room to devote to them. The 3 shoot package is tempting though b/c it's only $16 shipped.
Sorry, no help for the seagrass though

It turns out I have a friend who lives a mile from the ocean in florida. It is legal to harvest Mangrove propagules that are already floating in the water. You can't disturb the trees or the propagules on the trees, but the floating are fair game (he checked), so he is going to package some up and ship them to me!
I found the Gulf Coast Ecosystems site also and they seem to be an excellent source! Thanks all!!
