Seagrass habitat of Cairns Harbour and Trinity Inlet: Annual Monitoring Report 2018
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Seagrasses have been monitored annually in Cairns Harbour and Trinity Inlet since 2001. Each year six seagrass monitoring meadows representing the range of different seagrass community types found in Cairns are mapped and assessed for changes in biomass and species composition. These metrics are then used to develop a seagrass condition index (Map 1). Every 3 years all seagrasses within the port limits are also remapped (conducted in this 2018 survey). In addition to the established annual monitoring program, regular assessments of seagrass condition (quarterly), seed bank density and viability, and benthic light (continuously logged) are conducted at a seagrass site within the Ellie Point to the Esplanade intertidal meadow (site E; Map 1).
