Abstract
[Extract] Seagrasses have been monitored annually in the port of Weipa since 2000. Each year all seagrasses within the Intensive Monitoring Area (IMA) around the major areas of port activity are mapped. Five core seagrass meadows within the IMA representing the range of different seagrass community types found in Weipa are assessed for changes in biomass, area and species composition (condition indicators). Changes to these metrics are then used to develop a seagrass condition index.
