NLEP SRA: Monitoring for seagrass and macroalgae quarterly survey January 2023
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
This report details the first of planned quarterly assessments of seagrass condition associated with Gladstone Port Corporation (GPC) Northern Land Expansion Project Southern Reclamation Area (NLEP SRA) of the Western Basin Expansion (Figure 2). The NLEP SRA seagrass monitoring program examines an “impact” seagrass meadow that intersects the NLEP SRA (Meadow 8) as well as two similar nearby seagrass reference meadows (Meadows 5 and 6) to assess any potential impacts of the NLEP SRA on seagrass. These meadows have been monitored since 2002 and annually since 2004 as part of GPC’s long term seagrass monitoring program. The January 2023 survey is the first quarterly survey scheduled before the project start date and as such no NLEP SRA activities had occurred at the sites at the time of the survey.
